Quandamooka Totem by corymbia

Quandamooka Totem

"The five-metre high timber ‘totem’ entry sculpture [to Wynnum Jetty] reflects on a connection between land and sea, a connection with the senses, to the past, present and future, a connection to the processes of reconciliation, cooperation and sustainability and importantly an opportunity to open one’s mind for the journey ahead. This sculpture draws inspiration from such elements as the pylons of the original timber pier that once stood in this location (No. 2 Pier, Wynnum), the forests that once grew along these shores to the three to four men that would go out into knee to waist deep water to ‘call’ the dolphins. The ripple-like forms and the simple text carved and charred into the three poles provide cues to the inherent meaning behind the sculptural installation." http://www.wynnummanly.com.au/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=39&page=3

thank you all . I REALLY appreciate your comments and I promise to try and catch up on your projects (I have holidays at the end of the week so YAY).
I wasn't lying on the ground, although that might have been a better angle - this post is at a 60 degree angle and I lent up against it.
...and I am more than happy to play tour guide to any Brisbanites (or other visitors) who want to visit the Wynnum Manly area.

Apologies once again for the bulk reply
