Product details
Great White Bird imagines the time in Australia before European settlement. It makes reference to Susie's Ship Song - a song sung by Susie, a Wirangu woman from Yardea on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia - which tells the story of a great white bird that came over the seas and was tethered to the bay so that it couldn't get away. It is believed that the song was created in response to the tall ships of Mathew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin sailing into and anchoring in Denial Bay.
Great White Bird honours and pays tribute to Australia's first people, their stories and their land.
