    The South Eastern Long-eared Bat (Nyctophilus corbeni) is a species of bat found in southeastern Australia, and is an important part of Aboriginal folklore in the region. The bat, sadly, is also on the Australian Endangered Species list. According to the beliefs of the Aboriginal culture, especially the Yuin people of southern NSW Dreaming stories, the bat is associated with the creation of the stars and the night sky. The bat is seen also seen as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in some Aboriginal cultures. Ngunnawal people of the Australian Central Territory believe that the bat is associated with the spirit world and are considered to carry messages between the living and the dead. Furthermore, quite rightly bat's ability to navigate in the dark is seen as a symbol of intuition and inner wisdom. It is also said that in some Aboriginal stories, the bat is associated with the Rainbow Serpent, a powerful ancestral being.

    Dharshi accomplished something remarkable - she completed two 30-day art challenges in a single year! During this time, she created more than 60 artworks, including 30 pieces featuring endangered species. Among these works is this piece showcasing an endangered species. The original watercolour was painted on 100% cotton paper using the highest quality watercolours available.
