The Starwheel can be oriented to any month of the year and there are instructions as to how to find the Sky Figures in the night sky.

Reading Indigenous Stories - The text of each of the stories which appear on the planisphere, with acknowledgement of their origins.

Listening - A link to a recording of each story, told by Gapingaru Naputa, Indigenous Elder of the Woorabinda People, accompanied on didgeridoo and clapsticks by Sam Kerr, Indigenous Musician of the Wamba Wamba Djadjawurrng People. - from website.

"The Indigenous Starwheel, first published in 1996 to celebrate NAIDOC Week, is the result of intercultural collaboration and a shared love of astronomy between Gapingaru Naputa, Indigenous Elder of the Woorabinda Nation, and non-Indigenous astronomer and founder of the NSW Astronomical Society, Tim Patston. The resource also shows collaboration between members of other Indigenous Nations - the cover artwork was designed by indigenous artist Kylie Russell of the Gamilaroi People, and the stories are accompanied on didgeridoo and clapsticks by Sam Kerr, indigenous musician of the Wamba Wamba Djadjawurrng People." - Hawker Brownlow website.
