Botanic Gardens, Wuganmagulya

"Wuganmagulya" is an artwork in the walkway along the shore of Farm Cove, in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was created by indigenous artist Brenda L. Croft in 2000 and comprises terrazzo and stained concrete insets into the pathway depicting figures such as these sea creatures from Sydney rock carvings, some of which are now lost. Wuganmagulya is the Aboriginal name for Farm Cove.
