Tayunna Cook is a proud local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island woman from Carnarvon.
Tayunna joined the Carnarvon Common Ground Project to champion change not only for her own community, but to create better social outcomes for all by advocating for justice reinvestment.
Tayunna has extensive experience in the administration of community service programs and initiatives while studying for her 52880WA Certificate IV in Leadership and Mentoring.
Respected member of Carnarvon Common Ground, Devinia Wainwright collaborated and mentored Theonie McKenna to create the artwork for the Project. This piece tells the story of our community walking together toward a shared future. It represents the Common Ground as a place where services and community unite to provide support, guidance, connection, and healing for our youth and families.
The river meeting the sea – a landmark of Carnarvon -symbolises peace, grounding, and our deep connection to spirit and ancestors who walk with us every day. Our lands and ocean sustain us with traditional foods like mullet, kangaroo, and turtle, keeping us strong and healthy while preserving our culture for generations to come.
