To create this Artwork we started by looking at a map of the Wattle Range. We also looked at the Artwork of Indigenous Artist Rover Thomas who uses aerial views in his work.
The circles represent the towns and areas of the Wattle Range. The arches represent the Mountains in our volcanic landscape such as Mount Muirhead, and also Craitbul and his family, from the Boandik Dreaming. We have also added the ocean in the corner. All the towns are connected and meet in the middle. We chose blue because we have many wetlands, swamps and coastline, and the Boandik land was once under water. The brown represents the dirt, animals and people. This is to show our theme of Walking together as One.
We are all from different backgrounds and places but we meet together as one community. We acknowledge the Boandik people and the deep connection they have with the land. We pay respect to elders past and present.
