Spiritual Ways
This artwork reflects the spiritual ways in which Aboriginal people have kept alive to ensure that Country is protected, thriving and safe. Sitting together are people ('U' shapes) sharing stories and knowledges about how to care for Country. For thousands of years Aboriginal people have used traditional L.O.R.E and healing practices to care for the land, passing these knowledges down through generations. It's time to listen to these teachings and care for the land together.
Waterholes
Waterholes are important to the land, people and animals. Traditionally, Aboriginal people found the water from these natural pools and would collect it for their families using coolamons or bags made from animal skins. This collection of natural water would ensure the survival of everything, including surrounding trees and wildlife.
