Welcome to Bundanon
Bundanon acknowledges the Wodi Wodi and the Yuin, of the South Coast region, and recognises their continuous connection to culture, community and Country.
The Wodi Wodi are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Bundanon is located.
The word Bundanon means deep gully or deep valley from BU(LAIA:N:DHAIA(LA) meaning “two things deep” and NOON from the pronoun NYUNG meaning “his”. Michael Organ, University of Wollongong.
Bundanon is situated in an ancient landscape.
[Bundanon is] a special place of Aboriginal significance – where hinterlandt meets the coastalplain, where the saltwater meets the fresh, it’s where our language groups – the Dharawal andDhurga met, but most importantly it’s where people would come and meet. Noel Webster, Yuin Walbunja
Bundanon was created as an organisation to support creativity and learning in a unique cultural and natural landscape. It stretches across two sites along the Shoalhaven River.
Arthur and Yvonne Boyd’s gift of Bundanon has given Australia a unique cultural and environmental asset. Born out of Boyd’s often stated belief that ‘you can’t own a landscape’, and the wish that others might also draw inspiration from this remarkable place.
The Artist in Residence program is the result of the Boyds’ generous act, with the express aim that artists of all disciplines might experience the beauty of the Shoalhaven and be inspired to develop and make new work. We welcome approximately 350 artists to the residency program each year.
.. A place for the community to enjoy the bush and the river, and a place to be used as a forum where those from every facet from the arts and sciences could get together. Arthur Boyd

SAFETY
WEATHER EVENTS
Programs may be modified in the event of severe weather events to protect all visitors. Evacuation and cancellation may occur during extreme weather events or where a Catastrophic Rating has been issued by the Rural Fire service and when access to the properties is dangerous or limited. Bundanon will take responsibility for these communications. It is important that you wait for our instructions and do not attempt to exit without full knowledge of the conditions. You can monitor fires in the local area with the NSW RFS (Rural Fire Service) FIRES NEAR ME app.
FIRE HAZARDS
You should acquaint yourself with fire evacuation procedures and, if in doubt, contact a staff member.
Please do not leave any flammable fluids or materials in common areas and ensure that any such materials are safely stored in your studio. You must not block passageways or other common areas with artworks or materials. Campfires are not permitted.
BITES AND STINGS
There are poisonous snakes, spiders, mosquitoes and ticks at Bundanon. To prevent being bitten, please wear appropriate clothing when bush walking and always wear shoes when outside.
BUSH WALKING AND WALKING TRACKS
If you do go bush walking, please let someone know when and where you are going. If this is not possible, leave a note on your refrigerator. This is most important during bush fire season. Please do not go walking during severe weather. Stay on the paths, carry a whistle and a bottle of water, wear a hat, and apply sunscreen. Please check the Fires Near Me app for information on bush fires in the region during summer months before going for a walk.
FARM AREAS
Bundanon is a working farm and contains hazards such as machinery, cattle, electric fencing, ponds and wombat holes. Cattle grazing areas of the property are leased to an external farmer. Please be aware that there is no public access to paddocks.

IN AN EMERGENCY
All residents must follow the instruction of Bundanon Trust’s staff during emergencies throughout office hours. We will instruct you on when and how to exit. After hours, please make your way to the emergency evacuation assembly area, indicated on the evacuation plan on the following page and during your induction.
POWER FAILURE
In case of power failure, the phones and Wi-Fi will not work. The battery backup for landline phones and 4G wi-fi boosters have a finite life span. Once the batteries die contact may be lost. It is advisable to keep your phones, devices and laptops charged at all times during your stay.
Water tank pumps will also not work, meaning you will not have access to water in your residence for bathroom or kitchen use. Therefore it is important to always keep a jug of water in the fridge for drinking. You can access a tap on the water tank behind the Dorothy Porter Studio.
There are emergency blackout kits in all residences. Gas BBQs can be used for cooking during black outs. There is a BBQ in the courtyard between Sherman/Gonski and Fern/Freedman. There is one spare solar power pack for mobile phones located in Fern-Freedman kitchen cupboard.
If there is a power blackout, you may need to use the Emergency Phone. This phone is located In the laundry in the Homestead area. The laundry is not locked. You will need to locate the clear tub with Red bands which holds the mobile phone. It has solar chargers for powering the phone and a spare power pack. If there is a blackout and many hours pass and the phone and power banks run out from being used, they can be recharged by solar power. You may need to try different locations on the property to get reception.
Bundanon staff may try to contact you on this phone. This phone’s number is below:
