Our local MRAG (Maitland Regional Art Gallery) is a rich and wonderful resource for learning about our local environment. Stories from Wonnarua Country is a series of artworks made by students from seven local schools who have been exploring what it means to be living on Wonnarua Country today.

The artists have been led by their student colleagues who are the leaders of  their school-based Junior Aboriginal Education Consultative Group.
