Artwork Story
This artwork depicts the landscape of the Southern Central Coast region. With influences of traditional styles from Maddy’s home Country, this line and mapping style is featured in many cave art sites across Central Western NSW. As you’re flying over Darkinjung Country, you can look down upon the headlands, waterways, bush and oceans, all the different shapes of Country and all connected as one.
This is symbolic of the interrelated connection between Country and CCLHD Aboriginal staff, providing care and support for our community on the Central Coast.
