The Coraki Healing Stones were constructed and installed over a two month period using local clay by Goonenegrry artist Suvira McDonald.
The large tiles were fired in the new wood kiln at Southern Cross University. Another sculpture was erected in the vicinity by local artist Dennis Monks and a ‘river beach’ landscaped into the riverbank a little further downstream.

Walking TrackRichmond Terrace, Coraki.
The Coraki Healing Stones are located along the riverfront at 121 Richmond Terrace (within Coraki Memorial Park) in Coraki, NSW. The public artwork is situated outdoors along the scenic Richmond River walk, making it free and accessible to visit at any time.
The artwork was created over a two-month period by Goonengerry artist Suvira McDonald, local community volunteers, and Southern Cross University students. Installed as a tribute to reconciliation between cultures and the natural environment, the installation symbolizes unity, healing, and connection to the river landscape.
The primary ceramic sculptures were inspired by traditional scarred bark used for shields by local Aboriginal people, embedded with animal tracks created during environmental workshops. Community members also crafted ceramic tiles during the opening, forming the pathway that leads visitors down toward the stones.
Yes. The artwork and surrounding riverside parkland feature flat, paved pathways and smooth grassy areas, allowing visitors with wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or strollers to easily view the installation and stroll along the riverbank.
Located within Coraki Memorial Park, visitors to the Healing Stones have immediate access to public parking, shaded picnic gazebos, electric barbecues, children’s playground equipment, public restrooms, and a nearby boat ramp and fishing pontoon.
