Albany Plaza is on Minang  country, we pay our respect to the traditional owners, their elders past & present, and value their care and custodianship of these lands.

The Drawing Us Together initiative now in its sixth year, is a celebration of indigenous culture through the creation of a children’s story book written by Indigenous authors and illustrated by local school students.

In celebration of NAIDOC Week 2025, we are proud to have partnered with authors from across the country, each sharing their unique and inspiring stories that connect to this year's NAIDOC theme: 'The Next Generation; Strength, Vision, and Legacy.' Joined by our local primary schools, students were asked to submit a series of artwork to be featured as the illustrations within our community story book. A selection of 72 illustrations have been chosen as finalists and we’ll need your help to decide on the final illustrations to be included in the book.

Participating schools include:

• Mount Lockyer Primary School
• Spencer Park Primary School
• Flinders Park Primary School
• Bethel Christian School

To lodge your vote for your favourite illustration, simply find the exhibition in centre from 27 June until 20 July, located near coles, scan the QR code and then fill out the registration form which lets you select which school and piece of artwork you’d like to see featured in the story book. It’s as easy as visiting us in centre to vote, share and support your local schools!
