This map designed by La Perouse Elder Lola Deli Ryan and Sydney-based art collector Peter Fay is after Louis-Antoine de Bougainville's 1771 map of Australia pre-dating white occupation. The map is made from small shells grouped in squares, with the continent outlined in blue paint and silver glitter.
 

Lola Ryan's series of shellwork maps reflect the development of non-Indigenous Australian imaginings of the Australian continent over a 900 year period, as seen in maps drawn between 817 and 1771. They are also an important example of the Indigenous practice of shellwork, and reflect one of the ways in which members of the La Perouse Aboriginal community have generated income since the 1880s.
