Bring the spirit of the Australian bush into your classroom with the Gumbula Land Animals Cushions – Set of 8. Designed by celebrated Indigenous artist and Cultural Ambassador John Smith Gumbula, this remarkable collection showcases eight iconic Australian land animals through authentic Aboriginal artwork. Each cushion is a canvas of cultural storytelling, reflecting the sacred bond between Country, animals, and people.
Featuring the koala (45cm), emu (40cm), pelican (46cm), kangaroo (47cm), kookaburra (40cm), echidna (43cm), cockatoo (47cm), and goanna (50cm), these cushions highlight biodiversity while fostering respect for First Nations heritage.
Carefully constructed from soft, durable fabrics and sized for comfort, these cushions are ideal for reading corners, yarning spaces, or collaborative play zones. Each piece combines cultural depth with functionality, encouraging students to connect with stories of land, tradition, and identity. As tools for inclusion, they not only support physical comfort but also prompt conversations about Indigenous knowledge systems and environmental responsibility. With vibrant colours and symbolic design, these cushions create immersive learning environments grounded in cultural appreciation.
