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.
