In 2011, the Supreme Court of Queensland commissioned Sally Gabori for a mural – an enlargement of her painting Dibirdibi Country (2008). One of the emblematic sites of the legal system, which deprived the Kaiadilt of their rights for over two centuries, now spectacularly displays its recognition of Kaiadilt culture.

As the heir to this narrative and the places associated with the ancestor Dibirdibi, the artist’s husband, Kabararrjingathi Bulthuku Pat Gabori, also received this totemic name. Each canvas refers to the important heritage embodied by Pat Gabori.
