Barramundi
This is a reproduction of a traditional painting named “Barramundi”. The meaning of Barramundi for Aboriginal people is “large-scaled river fish”. The Barramundi were a very valued food source for aboriginal people. The blue and brown circles in the painting represent the life forces of the land and the ocean and the various colours of the circles symbolise the colours of the ocean and land.
