Our River Sculpture

Our River by Rachel Braybon is an adaption of the logo from the Yarkuwa Rangers, designed by Liticia Ross to represent the role of Rangers caring for Country to maintain the local river system, and to preserve the knowledge of the riverine environment for the benefit of the broader community.

The three waves represent the sky, land and water on the Kolety Werkul River System where the Wamba Wamba Perrepa Perrepa people have always lived.

The sky – The Wamba Wamba Perrepa Perrepa people look to the sky, the first wave, to tell stories with the stars and to identify changes in weather. The land – The middle wave is the home, the connection to sky and river. The river – The third wave is the lifeline, song lines and food source. It is life itself.
