Journeys in the sun tells of the many experiences had by Worimi ancestors as they travelled across country. The warmth and brightness of the sun are represented by a large mustard circle. A rainbow portrays vast sand dunes of Worimi land as the sun beams down on them and the path travelled. The large circle pattern embraces the fundamental core of our spirit, coming together and our cultural and community beliefs. Circles demonstrate various mobs in community, yarning with their young, teaching the way of the land using sun, sky and sea to survive on country. Finally, tracks connect individual mobs and show how they come together in times of celebration or need - living together on country.

Girambit: The rainbow embodies the diverse Ngurra community, while deep blue circles signify unity in safeguarding water bodies. Teaching lessons from the past, we nurture future generations to value Earth's gifts. Soft circles of gold, green, coral, and yellow depict the enduring link our Worimi people have with land and sea, ensuring a flourishing, sustainable future for all Ngurras and clans.

Home: Home represents the way we find our path and walk life’s journey on country. As individuals, we each contribute to community in a variety of ways – all different yet equally essential for a balanced environment. The feeling of home celebrates acceptance of each other, our diversity and uniqueness regardless of our strengths and weaknesses. It shows that we can walk together in unison and truly make a difference for generations to come.

Spirit Being:This piece represents our spirit being in the form of a Galah. Birds are very important to Aboriginal people and are often seen as totemic ancestors and spirit beings. The painting shows a Galah perched up on the branch of a flowering gum. There is a path/track running through the middle of the piece with many meeting places and rest stops. This represents your journey with the spirit being looking out for you along the way.

Luina- The Blue Wren: This piece represents the Tasmanian Aboriginal story of Dromerdeene who, while seeking reconciliation with his brother Moihernee, is attacked by Moihernee's beasts. A tiny grey bird valiantly tries to protect Dromerdeene but is thrown against a tree. A bright star rescues Dromerdeene and, in a display of gratitude, bestows upon the grey bird unique attributes including bright black eyes, a fan of feathers, and a beautiful blue crown that symbolises courage and freedom.

Kookaburra Dreaming: This piece shows a Kookaburra sitting in a Gum Tree looking out over all the meeting spots on country. He looks over the ceremonies and healing that takes place here and watches as the community come together in celebration.
