Celebrating the beauty of Naarm
From Birrarung Marr's flowing lines to emu and kangaroo tracks, Bayley’s design blends ancestral symbolism with rich storytelling, capturing the beauty of Melbourne, or Naarm, meaning “place” in the language of the Woiwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. TIRRIKE is named after the artist’s sister, whose Aboriginal name means “happiness”, a feeling beautifully reflected in its vibrant design.
