Design
This design represents my journey through life so far, on this journey I have added to my knowledge about my culture, heritage, and my family’s history. It depicts the connections between the cultural knowledge I have been taught by family members along my journey.
The sun rays reaches out over country and touches all of my family and people. The rivers and waterholes sustain all life, with many across Country being special and sacred places. Yilamara is the stem of a wild orchid, its flower is close to the rays to gain energy and power to continue my journey of connecting and learning.

Design
Awaken depicts the rising of the sun on a new day over Country, the sun is the giver of life and provides Mother Earth with light and warmth. When the rains come, the sun’s rays create the magic of rainbows. From the rain comes waterholes, these sustain life and are some of our sacred places where knowledges are kept and shared. Awaken is the dawning of a new day, the connections we have to our Country and the importance of Mother Earth.
