National NAIDOC Image: Shape of Land artwork, by Noongar and Saibai Islander man Tyrown Waigana: https://www.naidoc.org.au/resources/get-your-poster Shape of Land description: "The Rainbow Serpent came out of the Dreamtime to create this land. It is represented by the snake and it forms the shape of Australia, which symbolises how it created our lands. The colour from the Rainbow Serpent is reflected on to the figure to display our connection to the Rainbow Serpent, thus our connection to country. The overlapping colours on the outside is the Dreamtime. The figure inside the shape of Australia is a representation of Indigenous Australians showing that this country - since the dawn of time - #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe Aboriginal Land."
