Design
This design represents my journey through life so far, on this journey I have added to my knowledge about my culture, heritage, and my family’s history. It depicts the connections between the cultural knowledge I have been taught by family members along my journey.
The sun rays rainbow reaches out over country and touches all of my family and people. The rivers and waterholes sustain all life, with many across Country being special and sacred places. Yilamara is the stem of a wild orchid, its flower is close to the rays to gain energy and power to continue my journey of connecting and learning.

Class Clapstick Collection
$139.99Class Clapsticks Set (4 sets)
Clap Sticks are a traditional percussive instrument used for ceremony, social dancing, making music and to educate through storytelling. As for many traditional tools, they can serve more than one purpose, like also being used to dig for yams.
With the techniques passed down from his family, Russell Yilamara hand paints each set of our clapsticks using traditional Arnhem Land styles such as x-ray and rarrking and ochre colours. Not only can these instruments be used for a percussive instrument, but also as a teaching tool to understand the richness of Australian Indigenous life and culture.
Our Class Clapstick Set is designed to allow children to engage in traditional music, sharing in the experience, and to allow conversations to begin in a group setting. Especially made for young hands as they have a 3 cm diameter, they provide a wide grip.
The set comes in Songlines ochre red cotton duster bags to keep them protected while not in use.

Hannah B. –
The most beautiful Nesting Doll set I ever did see. The artwork is so detailed and even more so in real life. My children adore this set and so far have used them in so many ways. I look forward to them growing up with this set and watching it growing in uses with them. Have just purchased the Ocean, Earth and Sky sets to complete the collection.
