S3 Episode 6 - Mick Harding - Dancing Wombat - Wood Burning & Contemporary Indigenous Art
This week, we sit down with Mick Harding, the founder of Ngarga Warendj – Dancing Wombat, a thriving Indigenous business blending art, culture, and innovation.
From his workshop on Gunai Kurnai country near Morwell, Mick shares how he turned his passion for Aboriginal art into a successful enterprise, creating unique products like shields and cutting boards featuring traditional symbols.
Learn how Uncle Mick rediscovered his heritage, scaled his business with family support, and used innovation—like a laser cutter funded by Indigenous Business Australia—to increase production and grow his brand.
