GUIDE TO MAKING TIED BARK (GIPPSLAND)

1. Choosing the tree (seasonality) after the rainy season otherwise theres no sap that is produced during flowering period, bark carries sap up the tree.. trees are also assessed in the area to understand the previous cutting pattern for language consistency.

2. Extracting the bark in one piece, by outlining the shape as a rectangle so the bark comes off a cylindrical panel. Usually thinner than 25mm thick Only one face is taken from, straight upward, never full circumference so the tree can continue growing)cut preferred be done on the side with less sun so its less dry.

6. The bark is pulled across a coal bed/ fire to soften and evaporate the sap and bend the bark otherwise if it was made early in the season the bark would be soaked to soften. Inverting the bark so the smooth inside is now the hull.

7. Thin the ends of the bark pleat the ends into the and bow(rear) of the canoe.

Tying the ends of the tightly using a string from bark of the stringy bark provides a stiffness to pulls the ends up.

Bridging across Boonwurrung Parade symbolises an entrance to Boonwurrung land from the north, a device that is lifted from the placemaking locals associate with the DCM french fry. A public space geared more towards commercial tourism is attributed with its connection to the gardens and the allure of the spectacle. Its base elements situate themselves as amenities for sky country above the exisiting hardscape and amongst the canopies of the plane trees.
