The installation of Jonathan
Jones' barrangal dyara (skin and bones) is nearing completion on site at The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney.
As we eagerly await the work's completion, we take a look back at the almost equally rapid, hugely ambitious process of building the Garden Palace over seven months in 1879.

MANDAANG GUWU (thank you) to everyone who has contributed gawuraa (feathers)
to the giran gulbanha (wind philosophy) project. 
Finches are small birds, about 10cm long, that feed on grasses and seeds. They
are found all around Australia, with many being endemic.
