Thank you to our donor community for all you have made possible.
Cover Story: Kambri Ground Map
The Kambri Ground Map teaches visitors to ANU about the Country on which the beautiful bush campus sits - the traditional lands of Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples.
The materials used to create the sites on the map include stones from Mt Ainslie, Black Mountain and Red Hill, along with artefacts from Ngunnawal and Ngambri Elders' own collections.
The map enables visitors to connect with the history of the land they are on, and places ANU in context with these important Aboriginal sites from the surrounding region.
The map was a gift from Ngunnawal and Ngambri Elders to ANU and was designed in collaboration with Wellspring Environmental Arts and Design.
