Artist – Brandon Gay, a First Nations indigenous artist from the Yorta Yorta tribe,

This mural symbolises the rich cultural heritage of his people, inspired by the Dreamtime and the history of Sweet Water Creek. Additionally, the mural depicts Bunjil as the hero, representing the creator, with local flora and waterways in the backdrop. The artwork features stories of meeting places between different generations, stars watching over us, and fireplaces symbolizing the passing of knowledge. In Bunjil's feathers, kangaroo prints, human footprints, stars, and meeting places are intricately woven, reflecting the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. Through vibrant colors and symbolic imagery, the mural signifies the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of our ancestors for the next generation. Brandon's handprint, along with his wife's and children's, represents the continuity of culture and the passing down of knowledge. The artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of Indigenous people and their contributions to Australia's cultural fabric. It celebrates the interconnectedness of past and present, inviting viewers to engage with the profound spiritual and cultural significance of Dreamtime stories and the preservation of Indigenous culture for future generations to cherish and learn from.
