Mick Harding, of the Yeerun-Illam-Baluk clan of the Tanurung people of Victoria, is an artefact creator. He is known widely for his boomerangs (wangims), which he “burns in” Indigenous designs from the southeast of Australia. In 2004 he created a series of wangims that depicted the story of Bunjil, the Dreamtime Creator Spirit. This series was shortlisted in the 2005 Victorian Indigenous Art Awards.
Harding also draws Indigenous stories onto paper with gel ink and felt tip pens.
Harding owns and runs the retail business, Wurru Wurru Ngarga Warendj in the country town of Churchill in the Gippsland district of Victoria.
