Description

Bring one of Australia's most iconic and culturally significant trees into the heart of your classroom. The Aboriginal Eucalyptus Rug honours the eucalyptus — food, medicine, shelter and spiritual connection for First Nations peoples across this continent for tens of thousands of years. Children gather on a 2m x 2m square of cultural art that sparks daily yarning about native plants, Country and the deep knowledge systems of the longest surviving Indigenous culture in the world. A natural fit for EYLF Outcomes 1 and 2, and exactly the kind of culturally responsive resource assessors look for under NQF Quality Areas 3 and 6.

About the design.

For First Nations peoples, the eucalyptus is far more than a tree — it's a teacher of seasons, a source of bush medicine, a sacred meeting place. This rug invites children to learn the interdependence between people, plants and Country, and to recognise eucalypts as living, knowing parts of the world around them.

Features

Beautiful Indigenous art eucalyptus design on a 2m x 2m square plush rug with non-slip backing and heavy-duty overlocked edges. A culturally significant resource supporting EYLF Outcomes 1 and 2 and embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives every day.

Design by First Nations artist.

Created in honour of the eucalyptus tree — a living teacher in Aboriginal culture for over 60,000 years. From bush medicine and bush tucker to sacred meeting places, eucalypts connect First Nations peoples to the seasons, the land and one another, and invite children today to learn the interdependence between people, plants and Country.
