Description

DescriptionThe silhouette depicting two aboriginal men in a bark canoe was installed in November 2022.

In Ipswich and towards Boonah a canoe was called a Kundu/Gundu (pronounced gun-doo).

Dr. Ray Kerkhove in an article titled "Aboriginal boating around Southeast Queensland" described a kundul/condol which is a single-sheet bark canoe with ends folded concertina style.

"Each vessel carries the following: a three-metre long, thick stick to paddle, push and steer; shaped pieces of bark (for the same purpose); an “emergency kit” of a ball of white clay and a bailer shell; ti-tree bark (seating); and a pile of dirt and clay on which a firestick can rest. The fire is a combination torch, heater and fishing lure."
