The first question First Nations people ask each other when they meet is “Who’s your mob? Where you from?” It’s a way we seek to find connection and how we relate to each other. This is more than simply a geographic exercise even though place is incredibly important.
By communicating and sharing our place we find our connections. We wanted to take this a step further and find a common ground for non-Indigenous people as well. We’ve achieved that by identifying that we all have that place or places that is special to us. Those places, geographic, metaphoric, emotional, historic or current are the common ground where we understand each other.This workshop teaches the Cultural aspect of the Importance of Place for First Nations mob and guides participants to find their own place and how in doing so they can then find connection with their environment and to others.
Birrunga will share his cultural place, personal and family lore as well as stories from his ancestors while guidance is given to create your own artwork. You will take home a painting and create your own tangible memory of the importance of place through Art.

You must show photos how small the plate is. If I saw that, I would not visit your gallery.

Great place for a quiet lunch.





The staff was very accommodating, kind and polite. Highly recommended a visit if your in Brisbane.
The space was warm and welcoming. My partner LOVED the space and vowed that he'd love to visit everytime we come in to the city.
This was an opening night for Indigenous artists. It was such a privilege to hear stories of country, and see such beautiful, raw, thought provoking storytelling through art.
The hosts of the evening provided great food ( finger food including cooked crocodile bitesize chunks on sticks). (Apparently it is the healthiest food).
We're keen to return and sample the coffee and view more great art.





The cafe chairs and tables are set within the gallery per se, meaning you have some pretty interesting art to appreciate whilst you're having a bite to eat.
Indigenous foods are featured in the menu, and to that effect I was keen to try one of the 'Outback' burgers. Kangaroo, Crocodile and Emu burgers were all available. I regularly eat 'roo and find crocodile a little too bland and 'vanilla' (safe) choice so went for the Emu ($16) - a housemade pattie on a soft damper roll with beetroot, red slaw and Davidson Plum jam (with chips).
The burger pattie was fairly small within the bun, and very dry to eat. I understand Emu is a very lean meat (as is roo and crocodile meat) but there was nothing to lubricate the contents. The miniscule smear of Davidson Plum Jam was barely discernable, and the 'red slaw' lacking in much of anything to bind. Large stems attached to spinach leaves (Warrigal?) did nothing to help matters, and the beetroot was tinned if I'm not mistaken. The accompanying fries were blond and very undercooked - so much so they were hard and completely unpalatable. I had to take my plate to the counter to tell the staff, who advised they were a 'new brand' and obviously needed more time in the fryer. They were promptly replaced (thank you). Upon leaving I discovered a new apprentice was in the kitchen running solo on his 3rd day which goes some way to explain matters. But not really good enough in a venue that is showcasing both indigenous art and food as a point of difference and wishing to attract international visitors who may find the experience underwhelming - as I did.
The Gallery is currently closed until the beginning of September 2019 and the cafe will be re-branded so I will give them another go.
Service was fairly uninformed but well-meaning and the young lady who took my order had a lovely genuine smile which makes a world of difference anywhere these days.
