NAIDOC 2026 Mug | Indigenous Artwork Australia
Marambangbilang Dhinadhina Dhinadhina Marramarra. 50 Years of Deadly.
What a marrambangbilang (super awesome) mug this is!
The artwork depicts my personal interpretation of the NAIDOC 2026 theme in Wiradjuri language. Marrambangbilang (Deadly/Super awesome) - Dhinadhina (twenty) 20 + Dhinadhina (twenty) 20 + Marramarra (ten) 10 = Fifty years of walking toward recognition, rights, and self-determination.
The footprint path wrapping this mug is also mine. It traces where we have come from as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples - from the shadows of invisibility to where we stand now - and walks forward into the future we are still building. Every milestone on this path was chosen because it marks a moment when we became more visible, more counted, more heard.
This is not an official history. It is a this Wiradjuri woman's reading of Country.
The path
The footprints walk from 1938 - the Day of Mourning in Sydney, when we refused to be invisible - up through the Wave Hill Walk-Off, the 1967 Referendum, the formation of NADOC, the inclusion of Torres Strait Islander peoples, and a quiet personal milestone in 1965: a grandfather and his granddaughter walking Wiradjuri Country. Every moment carrying stories forward.
The path ends at 2026. But the walk continues. 👣

Who buys this mug
- NAIDOC Week matters to them and they want something that lasts beyond the week itself.
- A quiet statement for their desk at work - about whose Country they sit on and what that means.
- Corporate gifting done right - something that actually means something, instead of the usual branded pen or generic hamper.
- For a teacher, a colleague, a community leader, an Elder- someone who has walked this path and deserves to see it honoured.
- Wiradjuri, or Mob, they see themselves in this story.
- They have a grandfather too.
