‘Protecting our Country, Growing our Future’
‘Protecting our Country, Growing our Future’ was commissioned by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
STORY:
Our Country is vibrant, rich and nurturing. She heals and strengthens the spirits, minds and bodies of all who call her home. We are a part of Country and Country is a part of us in a sacred bond that connects us to the land, waterways, skies and all living things.
As Country cares for us through her generous and abundant gifts, we too must care for Country for she is the giver and sustainer of all life. We learn our ways of being and doing from Country as she calls us to live in moderation, not excess, to give much but only take what we need, and to consider the impact of every step we tread.
Country must thrive in order for life to flourish, so we take up our mantle as protectors and defenders, working together to grow a sustainable and prosperous future for our Country and for our people.
