Yalma Bigoon by Michael Boiyool-Anning

Project Overview
Commissioned for the façade of the newly developed Gordonvale Shopping Centre, Yalma Bigoon is a striking large-scale artwork by renowned First Nations artist Michael Boiyool-Anning, a descendant of the Tableland Yidinji people and the Madjanji coastal clan. The artwork references traditional rainforest tools—returning cross-boomerangs (yalma) and wooden shields (bigoon)—painted with ochre and charcoal in culturally significant patterns.
Curated and managed by Creative Road, the mural was part of a broader investment in cultural and community engagement for the Far North Queensland region.
