“Connect to your inner-child when you are out in nature. Feel your senses respond
to Mother Earth. Be curious. Look around you, touch, listen, smell, taste and see the beauty
that surrounds us every day. The beauty that we forget to experience and feel when we are
busy and stressed.
Open yourself up again to connect to your sense of wonder”
Meaning 'strong relationships' is the successful artwork chosen by the South West Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Family Violence Police Protocol team.
"The poles themselves are stunning! Each tells a story of welcome and us.
Not only are they beautifully crafted and painted, they represent a unique piece
of local indigenous culture. We feel the poles are pieces to be honoured and
cherished of which we are grateful custodians. We could not think of a better
feature to welcome people to our home."
