To celebrate NAIDOC week, the NSW Government Saving our Species program and Snowy Monaro Regional Council partnered with Aboriginal artist Gail Neuss to run a series of art workshops across the Monaro region. NSW Department of Planning and Environment Community Engagement Officer Melanie Sim said the workshops brought wonderful groups of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people together to create art and talk about caring for Country. 'In Cooma and Michelago, local women were invited to paint their impressions of the Monaro, with photos of local threatened species, including the earless dragon and mauve burr-daisy, on the walls around them to inspire ideas,' said Ms Sim.
