⏰ FRIDAY FREEBIE TIME ⏰ Celebrate NAIDOC Week with our beautiful bunting set, designed by Indigenous digital artist Kerri-Ann Taggart.

💬 Comment FREEBIE below to be sent the link to our printable template, or click the link in the comments.

Kerri-Ann explains the inspiration for her artworks:

"These NAIDOC designs celebrate the journeys, stories, and strength of Aboriginal people (through a Wonnarua lens) from the travelling kangaroo to the soaring eagle, and the hills, rivers, and plains. These are what hold our history. Together they show how culture moves with us, how Country guides us, and how our past, present, and future stay connected. As we mark 50 years of NAIDOC, these symbols remind us that our identity is living, growing, and carried forward by everyone who stands proud in culture and community.”

CleverPatch is wearing yellow for Reconciliation Week in support of Children’s Ground 💛💚 Together we've raised over $480 to support their work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities.

As part of Reconciliation Week, our office has been watching 'The Australian Dream' during lunch, a powerful documentary about AFL legend Adam Goodes. We’ve really enjoyed Native Oz Bushfoods tea and Cooee Native Superfoods popcorn - a quick office favourite!

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support and helped us raise money for this important organisation. If you would like to donate or learn more about Children’s Ground, you can visit https://wearityellow.org.au/cleverpatch

Take a look behind the scenes with Kez as she designed her 2026 Sorry Day poster!
➡️ Comment LINK to download the free poster template.

Kerri-Ann explains the meaning behind her artwork:
“National Sorry Day is a time when we remember the Stolen Generations. We look back with respect, so we can live in the now and help create a better future. This artwork honours their strength, stories, and culture, and reminds us to go “All In” and to listen, to learn, and to walk together with kindness and care.”

The illustration represents three gathering circles, Past, Present and Future. Hands reach at different lengths to show their level of knowledge. An Emu track is on their wrist - You find emu tracks in Wonnarua Country and are used for direction. The arms are moving forward and reaching toward the connected Gathering circles, reaching to go all in.

Don't ask us how many times we've watched this... we're just a little starstruck 🤩
