Yingabeal: The Wurundjeri Scarred Tree at Heide Museum of Modern Art
This short documentary explores Yingabeal, the scarred tree at the Heide Museum of Modern Art.

It includes interviews with Uncle Bill Nicholson (a Wurundjeri Elder), historian Dr Jim Poulter, curator Kendrah Morgan and Heide’s head gardener Dugald Noyes. The documentary can be used in conjunction with the education kit Yingabeal: Indigenous Geography at Heide.
