Enid is connected to Young High School and the Wiradjuri learning and cultural centre at Young Library
The rug in the Wiradjuri learning and cultural centre at Young Library is based on a painting by Aunty Enid and represents…
The hills of Brungle and the slopes of Young. This is strong Wiradjuri county and these are the colours of Mother Earth. The black road and the white dots represent some of the song line journeys that we still use today that are thousands of years old. Songlines are journeys of knowledge in the form of a map and each place contains cultural knowledge that is taught to all.
