Bunjil, the wedge-tailed eagle and creator, soars high above Melbourne (Naarm) in Kulin Nation. The Yarra River (Birrarung) winds through bushland and the city, flowing into the bay. Kangaroo tracks on the right symbolize the outer rural areas with their native wildlife, while floral gardens sprinkle the riverbanks and inner city, home to gathering places. Albert Park Lake, near the bay, is depicted with its rich plant life and social spaces. The river flows west, connected to the land across by a tribal pattern representing the Westgate Bridge. To the north, the warmer, harsher climate is reflected in the rich colors and textures of the landscape, showcasing the beauty of the Kulin Nation and Wurundjeri land.
