WATERHOLE

“Waterhole” reflects the deep connection between Aboriginal people and the life giving water systems that flow across Country. The central gathering form represents this waterhole, a place of survival, meeting, storytelling, and spiritual connection for generations.

The flowing lines surrounding the waterhole symbolise rivers, creeks, and underground water systems moving through the landscape, carrying life to people, animals, and plants. In Aboriginal culture, water is far more than a resource, it is memory, movement, and a living part of Country itself.

The soft blue tones represent calmness, renewal, and the strength of water even in harsh environments. The layered patterns speak to the way water connects communities, ceremony, and travel routes across Country, reminding us that every water source holds cultural knowledge and deep significance.
