Clarence Kijun (Jirrbal tribe) explains “In the beginning, the blue tongue lizard was the water keeper. The other animals tried to find where he was hiding the water.  They found the water under the big rock. They asked the white-tailed rat to sneak up on the lizard. He nudged the rock, and the water came out of the ground.  And then the kingfisher put his beak down and carved out the Tully River and all the rivers. Like a surveyor to show where the river has to run.”

• the swimming turtles represent the journey of “longtime learning”.  The sea and freshwater turtles are an important aspect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and represent the ability to overcome obstacles.
• the circular design of the artwork represents the concept that learning is a continual, life long, eternal process.  The small connected circles surrounding the design are coloured with the colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags. This represents the IKC Coordinators who facilitate learning and development through Indigenous Knowledge Centres.
• the land bodies on the top and bottom of the design (brown for land and yellow for sand) represent the supportive roles of the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane (south) and the Indigenous Library Services of SLQ in Cairns (north).
• the vine motifs symbolise growth of knowledge, skills and positive developmental experiences.
