Location: PowerWater Wood Street Switching Station, Darwin (behind Charles Darwin University city campus)

This vibrant mural is a striking celebration of Larrakia Country and culture, created through a collaboration between Bidjipidji Art and Bundirrik. It was painted on the PowerWater facility on Wood Street as part of a public art initiative to beautify the city and honour the region’s Traditional Owners.

The artwork features bold depictions of native fish, eels, and flowing water, layered with intricate Indigenous motifs and dot patterns. These elements symbolise connection to Country, the importance of water systems, and the rich aquatic life of the Top End. The vivid blues, ochres, and earth tones reflect both land and sea, paying tribute to the natural environment and traditional Larrakia knowledge.

The fish, in particular, are illustrated in a contemporary Aboriginal art style, detailed with concentric circles and linework that speak to stories passed through generations. Surrounding them are silhouettes of other aquatic creatures, mangrove roots, and cultural markings that reflect movement, community, and tradition.
