Anton Walley at Chunyart launchAn Audio Interview with Alton Walley

The Chunyart is Anton’s traditional totem animal. Chunyart’s are more commonly known in WA as the Twenty-eight Parrot.

The book was inspired by training work Alton did at King’s Park for the WA Tourism Commission. They created a trail / walk for the park. One walk is 4-5kms and the pamphlets for the walk are still available. The story Alton wrote is as a result of his work and some of the graphics and plants you can find on that walk. His father Richard Walley did some of the artwork.
