Artist story:
Marie is a Yawuru-Ninunburr-Jabir-Jabir woman based in Broome. The eucalyptus tree is an important plant for Aboriginal people for may reasons. The leaves can be crushed and brewed in water to treat ailments such as ‘cold-sick’ and rubbed into the skin as a disinfectant. Traditionally, the bark from some of the species was burnt down and the grey ash used as a type of chewing tobacco. Marie especially loves the eucalyptus tree when it is in full bloom.

Size and fit guide:
Hayley is a size 10 and is wearing a size 10. She is 175cm tall. We had to bulldog clip this top in the photoshoot as it was too oversized so it’s not quite falling as it should.
This style is an oversized, boxy fit, so please keep this in mind when choosing your size. We suggest sizing down for this style if you want a more fitted style of wearing it.
