Yarrabil Yumbehlehla

Waylene Currie is a Mununjali and Wandjiraburra woman, whose artworks celebrate First Nations lore and a deep Connection to Country. Her painting Yarrabil Yumbehlehla, tells the story of Round Mountain as it has always been told: through ancient songlines, connection, and the living presence of Country itself. Commissioned for the future Round Mountain community, it is both a map and a memory, symbolising thousands of years of relationship with this landscape.

Connection to Country

The painting follows a journey that the traditional custodians of this place have made across generations. Travelling the songline up Round Mountain, they would send a smoke signal from the summit to announce their arrival to the Mununjali clan below. At the creek, a woman would wait to receive them, to say: you are welcome, come and journey with us. The sacred kingfisher moves through the painting as a spiritual guide, an invitation to trust intuition and remain open to what a place has to offer.

Ancient history and future community

In the background of Waylene's painting, the future layout of the Round Mountain neighbourhood is mapped across the ancient landscape. Even as new homes take shape, the ancient spirit and story of the land remain. Round Mountain has always been a place of welcome, where people announced themselves in good faith and were received with care, where the responsibility of being a guest and then a neighbour was shared and understood.

Yarrabil Yumbehlehla is an invitation to carry that spirit forward, to build community here with the same mutual respect and sense of belonging that has defined this country for thousands of years.
