'When I was 10 years old, I was given Gurawul's story by my grandfather Muns...in the dirt...they made me promise to go to the southern land and search for the whale dreaming.
I had no idea what it meant or that it would take me 70 years to keep it.' - Uncle Max Harrison More than 70 years ago, the ancient legend of Gurawul the whale was passed down to Yuin Elder Uncle Max Dulumunmun Harrison by his grandfather and uncles. He promised them that one day he would travel to the southern land, Tasmania, and search for the whale dreaming of their Ancestors.
This exquisitely illustrated book tells the story of Uncle Max's journey to fulfil that promise, and how he eventually came face to face with Gurawul. Filled with important cultural knowledge and personal stories, Uncle Max sadly died before Gurawul could be published, and his family are continuing his legacy to show how science is finally beginning to catch up with these 'old blackfella' stories.

from 24 reviewsgreat quality, just as described and worth the wait to get a custom print on my hoodie

Great product!
Beautiful art and quality, keen on hanging it on the wall!

Gorgeous local artworks, clothing, swimsuits and homewares, at a lovely beach shack. Support local artists and designers by buying your beachwear and souvenirs at the Starfish Studio.
Gorgeous fabric, oversized and stunning colour. Highly recommended.

incredible business & owner! i had such an amazing experience in store & online with Jess
Beautiful, elegant and unique. Loved the Straddie art and pictures. Friendly helpful owner/staff.
If I could give 6 stars I would. Jess is the most creative artist and sells her unique designs/homewares in her shop and online. SERIOUSLY never drive past her shop. If I could move in there I would. There are always mood boards on the go. The quality is excellent but the creativity will have all your friends asking “where did you get that from ? “
What a delight to discover this studio and shop displaying wonderful designs by the owner and artist, Jess. You will find unique designs using sea themes and native plants on fabrics, cushion covers, tea towels and t’shirts for all the family. Jess also sources jewellery, tableware, paintings and other objet d’arts from select artists and designers. Wonderful treasures to be found here for everyone.
Unique and beautiful home wares inspired by island life. Exceptional quality goods and service always with a smile. Highly recommend.
I really love the products from this shop. It stocks an array of quality homewares and clothing that reflect the natural beauty of laid-back North Stradbroke Island: its beaches and abundant marine life. Tee-shirts are made with Fairtrade certified cotton and sourced from Fairtrade producers, which is another plus for me. Starfish at Straddie - great service, designs, ethos and of course, a great beach getaway destination.
The quality of the T Shirts is great, lush fabric, cool prints, and a long tale, long lasting after being thrashed on the beach and around the pool. Get on it! - (ex Wife kept the cushion covers.) :-)
Have slowly purchased a range of products from the studio - t-shirts, coral lights and a beautiful pile of outdoor cushions. Amazing quality material (outdoor fabric in Qld sun doesn’t usually last well - T-shirt material is soft but strong), stunning designs and excellent constriction. One of my favourite designers and stores, customer service is A1. Thank you!!!!
Love my Coral Lamp! I always buy gifts for friends from this store, original and great quality. Highly recommend!
