Going Bush

We should play, share and have trust with everyone.

In 2005 author Nadia Wheatley and artist Ken Searle developed a Harmony Project with sixteen students from eight infant and primary schools in Sydney – some Muslim, some Catholic, some government schools. As well as experiencing the harmony of the natural environment, the children were encouraged to learn about harmony between the traditional owners and the land, and to find harmony in friendship and collaboration. Going Bush showcases some of the students’ illustration and writing, linked together with art and design by Ken Searle and a narrative by Nadia Wheatley.
