Yondee Shane Hansen is a distinguished Noongar artist, born in 1964 in Dumbleyung, located 270 kilometres south of Perth in the southwestern region of Western Australia. He acquired foundational knowledge from his father, who taught him about hunting and the creation of sand drawings. Additionally, visits to his aunties along the Swan River provided him with opportunities to collect paper bark, which supported their artistic endeavours. These early experiences formed the basis of his artistic education, as older relatives, celebrated for their paper bark paintings, served as his initial instructors.

In reference to his contemporary artistic practice, Yondee Shane Hansen stated, "I create sand paintings by collecting sand from the creeks. After being meticulously washed to remove salt, the sand exhibits a smoother texture. Following multiple washes and sieving, it becomes suitable for artistic application when mixed with paint. My paintings' combination of black and white sand conveys a simple yet powerful message."

As a seasoned artist, Yondee Shane Hansen has refined techniques to utilize sand and ochres to depict the narratives and legends of his people. In addition to these traditional representations, he produces detailed figurative works that address themes such as mission life, hunting, and animals. Despite their abstract nature, his works retain a narrative essence. Yondee has drawn upon the knowledge of ground paintings imparted by his grandfather during his childhood and aspires to preserve and elevate these art forms. He holds that translating these concepts into sand paintings not only honours their origins but also extends their reach to new audiences. His bush name, Yondee, translates to Black Goanna.

Furthermore, Yondee Shane Hansen has collaborated with the Campfire group of Aboriginal artists in Brisbane and has exhibited his artwork in various galleries across Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, and internationally in countries such as the United States, Czech Republic, and Ireland.

About the Painting

Recent works by Whadjuk Ballardong artist Yondee Shane Hansen are focused on traditional songlines and walking paths associated with the Derbarl Yerrigan, commonly known as the Swan River, situated on the coastal plains surrounding Perth. His paintings depict the interconnected locations of the Swan River and the substantial coastal lakes, extending from Joondalup and urban Perth to the Beeliar Wetlands.

The rivers within the Perth region are intricately woven into the Dreaming narratives of the local Noongar Aboriginal community. Mr. Hansen articulates that the river serves as a vital connection between the freshwater inhabitants of the inland and the saltwater communities along the coast. The Dingo Dreaming track integrates these groups and adheres to the river's natural contours. The Wargyl, a water spirit significant to this Country, is referenced in Mr. Hansen's assertion of "swimming with the Wargyl" along the river’s course. Additionally, community Elders have indicated that this area is associated with the freshwater turtle, which holds traditional medicinal importance.

It should be noted that the term Derbarl Yerrigan does not directly translate as Swan River; the river is referred to as Narlak (Swan) Beeliar (River). Instead, Derbarl Yerrigan is often interpreted to signify freshwater or brackish water Turtle Dreaming along the river. Mr. Hansen's artwork further includes representations of Gnamma holes, where Aboriginal peoples historically harvested water runoff from rock surfaces, collecting it in small wells that were subsequently covered and safeguarded.

More like a mint candy than mouthwash.
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Hard to describe this product. Does it work like your typical mouthwash? No. Does it leave your mouth feeling minty and fresh? Yes, to a certain extent. Would I consider this an alternative to mouthwash on a consistent basis? No, it's ok for traveling because it's easy to transport. When you chew this tablet, it has the texture and feel of a traditional mint. It's chalky and breaks up easily.

Not a fan of this one
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am not a fan of this product. As many of the reviews noted, the flavor is very strong. I was surprised it wasn't more minty. This is a very herbal concoction. It also tastes of the other very strong herbs, especially the rosemary. According to the instructions, this product should be used once a day for 30 seconds. I prefer a product I can use twice a day for 45 seconds to a minute. My experience is that it takes 30 seconds just to crush it up enough to swish it around and I don't have enough saliva in the morning due to overnight dry mouth. I have to add a little water. The tablets never crush completely and leave a mess in the sink that has to be carefully rinsed away. If I use them more often, my mouth dries out too much and tastes like the tablets all day long. It's not a bad taste but I expect it to go away after a half-hour (or so). They are really chalky. The container isn't bad, but doesn't pour 1 tablet out at a time. Meh. I don't like touching a bunch of them each time. There is a desiccant packet in with the tablets to protect them. I am not sure this would stay closed during travel or be allowed on a plane in carry-on. It should travel ok otherwise because it's not a liquid, but I haven't tried it. I will probably not buy this product again, but in all honesty, I have bought far worse products and been disappointed far more by them.

Its like they knew what I prayed for🙏🏽
Flavor Name: Mint, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Okay, let me start by saying I am a huge skeptic. I need to research things to the nine's and read legit reviews before I buy anything new. I have had cavities from a very young age and receeding gumlines all my life. At age 50, I have gone all natural, got rid of everything toxic, and got really healthy. I have been listening to Dr. HUBERMAN podcast on you tube and found one he did on oral health. He gets very detailed about how to heal your oral health. He spoke specifically about hydroxyapetite and xylitol and their benefits. I then started searching for mouthwashes with these ingredients because i am seriously concerned my teeth are going to fall out from these receeding gums. I have been told all my life there was nothing you can do. I knew in my gut that was a lie. I knew there had to be a way to heal our mouths naturally. Then found BOKA. I got them. I tried them. I lOVE THEM! They are perfect! They are minty fresh, easy to use, makes my mouth feel clean and if they actually do heal my mouth....then awesome sauce! I read all the reviews. I see the after taste. But, i think its a personal choice. I like the after taste. It tastes and feels like a clean mouth. I feel the tinglyness. Yes. But I believe from my health and science background it is the mint, aloe, probiotics and everything else stimulating the skin and blood to start the regeneration of skin and mineral. Im happy to report back again in a month or so with outcome plus before and after photos👍🏽
