Bunya – Gregory Hills

Designed by Distinctive for Gregory Hills Public Art Project delivered by Dart West Developments.

‘Bunya’ is a sculptural representation of the seed pods produced by the Bunya Pine.

The bunya, bonye, bunyi or bunya-bunya tree produces edible kernels. The ripe cones fall to the ground. Each segment contains a kernel in a tough protective shell, which will split when boiled or put in a fire. The flavour of the kernel is similar to a chestnut.
