Dharrang is a word from Wiradjuri language, meaning message stick.
‘Message sticks’ were used as a traditional way of communication.
Message sticks were transmitted between different communities across the massive landscape of Australia. Messages communicated may have included announcements of ceremonies, invitations to meetings, corroborees, or marriages.
In many cases, message sticks were objects that granted its carrier a safe passage and entry into the lands of other mobs, and on some occasions, the sticks were burnt after the message was received, to keep some business confidential.

Love it!
I absolutely love this print. It is a stunning piece that adds to my lounge room.
This picture looks cool in my space! It also ties the Dark Grey Tones of my Lounge and Olive tones of my Arm Chair into my mixed space.
Luv the print.
