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.
