Camping Bush Mat

Description

The Camping Bush Mat is designed by Victorian Aboriginal artist Annette Sax, Creative Director of Yarn Strong Sista.
Annette developed the Camping Bush Mat as an extention of the ‘Possum Hunt Puppet Show’ part of our oral storytelling program.
This mat is inspired by the story of the late Aunty Iris Lovett and her childhood adventure of hunting for possums.
Animal tracks include echidna, emu and possum tracks. Symbols represent gum leaves and campfire.

Add your own wooden or felt animals for imaginative small play experiences.
