The Black Seahorse Gift Store

Historical Sites and Heritage Locations

The Black Seahorse is more than just a gift shop; they are a collective of creative indigenous artists who want to showcase their art and products designed to present our stories and connection to sea country. Their beautiful Wunyami (the tribal name for Green Island) is a culturally significant site for the Gungandji and Yidinji tribes. Wunyami is covered in the 6000-year-old rainforest on an ancient coral cay and surrounded by protected coral and seagrass beds.

The Black Seahorse is known to bring luck amongst the elders of this Sea Country and the Great Barrier Reef. Therefore, the Black Seahorse wants to give back. 20 percent of all profits will be reinvested into research and development of embedding tribal science back into the management of Sea Country in and around Green Island.

At Black Seahorse, they are a profit for a purpose organisation where that want to trade fairly and ethically and partner with the rightful traditional owners of our land with respect and dignity. They only house products from saltwater artists who have been crafting these pieces for thousands of years. Their insights and brilliant and creative minds have instilled a new passion for indigenous art showcased to you. Their vision and captivating artworks grants access to you, their clients, a taste of the rich heritage of the indigenous saltwater communities.
