The Unley Uluru Statement from the Heart Support Group acknowledges this land that we meet on is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country.
We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people visiting/attending from other areas of South Australia/Australia.

Kumangka
Entitled Kumangka, meaning ‘together’, these murals by Kaurna Artists: Allan Sumner & Narisha Cash were commissioned by the City of Unley in 2018, as part of the Council’s Emerging Walls Project and as a permanent testament to the commitment by the Council to the process of Reconciliation. The murals are on public buildings in Ridge Park, Barr Smith Ave, Myrtle Bank., and are comprised of paint on galvanised steel and bricks. The local environment, particularly the creek line and bird life are celebrated in these beautiful murals.
Photographs of these Kaurna murals at Ridge Park, together with photographs of the majestic old Red River Red gums and native grasses and stones of the creek bed in Ridge Park have been used to decorate pages of this website.
