Liss wins award for story writing including a story titled Bill the Brumby Liss wrote the story after taking her children to experience the Brumbies in the Barmah National Park, Victoria.
“Hey Brumby lovers! As a few of you may know I am a Yorta Yorta woman and there was talk that the Yorta wanted the horses out of the Forrest, however my family and I have spoken to a few elders and they WANT the Brumbies to remain in Barmah.
Recently, I went for a trip to Bunjilaka (Aboriginal Cultural Centre) and I came across Aboriginal work from first nation people including a gee-am or known as kerreem (spear shield) dated 1870-1920 located in Vic. On this shield was a horses in diamonds and the other one I found was a Kalti paarti (Emu Egg) dates 1990s location was menindee nsw..
So we as aboriginal include the horses into our dream time. We welcome them into the land of Man.”

Artist – Scott Moore @ Lilly Pilly Inspirations – proud Wadi-Wadi man – location Brisbane QLD
Artwork – Brumby Red and Brumby White
Scott Moore is a descendent of the Wadi-Wadu tribe, from the Yuin nation. The Yuin people originate on the south coast of NSW. Since February 2008 Scott has taken up Aboriginal art and his area of interest is native wildlife. Scott explains why he paints under the name ‘Lily Pilly Inspirations’
“My uncle nicknamed my one and only child ‘Lilly Pilly’ and in her honour, I sell my artwork under the name Lilly Pilly Inspirations.
My thing is that as a contemporary Aboriginal artist, I paint all sorts of Australian animals as this is my passion, and to share culture. I personally don’t have any life experience of working with Brumbies and horses, but I do recognise they have been here for a long time and there are lots of Aboriginal men and women who have been involved with horses, especially while working on stations both now and in the past.
We are saltwater people, our connection to the land is primarily with the sea.”
