Swans unveil 2026 – 2028 NAIDOC Guernsey

The Swan Districts jumper design for the club’s 2026 – 2028 WAFLW Reconciliation and WAFL NAIDOC home games is from the mural at Steel Blue Oval Bassendean designed and painted by local artist and proud Whadjuk-Yuet-Ballardong man, Kevin Bynder.

The design is an ancient satellite map showing the places of significance along the Derbarl Yerrigan near Steel Blue Oval Bassendean. It serves as an important cultural reference point and educational tool.

This is Kevin’s grandfather’s country as he was born down by the river, so the mural has been a spiritual project for him given he is so connected to this area.

The map includes significant places that have transpired over thousands of years including massacre sites, burial sites, meeting locations, camp sites, fishing spots, as well where expecting mothers would go to give birth.

Swan Districts will be hosting East Perth for this year’s WAFL NAIDOC Round. A short welcome to country will occur pre League game, with bouncedown scheduled for 2:30pm.
