This ceramic and mosaic mural project has been designed to acknowledge and pay respect to the ancestors of the land on which the centre is built. The traditional owners of the Land are the Yulukit Wilum, of the Boonwarrung Language Group. The native fish will remind us that the Yulikit Willum People respected their environment by not fishing when the fish were spawning, in order to protect the future of their environment and their food supply.

Purple group's fish
Here are some more fish being made by the three year old children at Altona North Early Childhood Centre. The children have made the fish out of white earthenware clay. The fish are decorated with liquid underglazes. Debbie will take them home to dry them out in her bungalow. Then they will be taken to Sunbury to be fired.
After firing the first time. They will be coated with glaze and put into the kiln again.
When they come out they will be bright and shiny!
Here, someone is making a rock flathead!
