These gorgeous lifecycle illustrations have been drawn by Kahlea Spiby, a 19yr old Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung woman living on Yorta Yorta Country. Kahlea has a background in Conservation and Ecosystem Management and was engaged by the River Detectives program after participating in a Youth Takeover program.
