We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and First Nations people of East Gippsland and recognise their continuing connection to Country, Culture and Community. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
The artwork featured was proudly painted by local Gunaikurnai man, Bradley Brown.
"The artwork is of this Country; East Gippsland and the people and conversations we have to preserve them for the next generation. It's about the river systems that flow through this area, the mountains and landscape leading to the sea."
