Watching Over Us
Description:
Drawing on the flag, black represents the night sky and the red, sandy soil on the earth is seen in the rusty brown, emphasised by tress to showcase the Outback landscape.
The central sun blends with the land, connecting earth and sun. Emu tracks leading up symbolise collections and cycles of knowledge Elders keep, while kangaroo tracks travel down, representing knowledge passed down through generations.
Traditional white symbols are stars that form trails to make galaxies, symbolising the Milky Way and other constellations important to the Dreaming.
The symbols made up of stars are Elders ‘watching over us’ bright in the sky. They surround the Sun, the protector and giver of all life.
