Lung cancer is the most common cancer among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, but with lung screening we can change this.

We are ecstatic to share that today’s Google Doodle honours the incomparable and magnificent, Aunty Ruby Hunter. It has been an honour and privilege to have worked on this project in close partnership with Aunty Ruby’s family, Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist Thea Anamara Perkins, and our friends at Google to acknowledge, spotlight and pay tribute to a woman whose legacy and impact is imprinted on generations of people. Aunty Ruby’s creativity knew no bounds – singing, acting, playing diverse instruments – she could do it all. Her activism, compassion for others and her ability to nurture through music, song and acts of love, changed countless lives across Australia. This breathtaking hand painted Google Doodle created by Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist, Thea Anamara Perkins captures Aunty Ruby playing her guitar on her traditional Ngarrindjeri Country. One of Aunty Ruby’s cultural totems, the pelican, looks on from the beautiful Kurongk (Coorong). We encourage you to learn more about Aunty Ruby, her life and her legacy which is now upheld by her two sons and extended family. A heartfelt thank you to Aunty Ruby’s family who entrusted us with this honour and to the remarkable Thea Perkins who created magic with every brushstroke and truly captured Aunty Ruby and her powerful essence.
