Mid West Ports Reflect RAP 2023

Artwork & Poem: "Two Cultures, Come Together" by Nicole Dickerson

As the water connects to the land,

The land connects to the sky,

The sky connects us to the stars,

The stars are our people's guide.

We are of the Yamaji People,

From the Past, Present and Future.

This is Yamaji Country.

As the rain beings to fall,

There is a ripple effect,

The main rivers overflow,

And meet the ocean.

As the landscape changes through the seasons,

The new growths start to bloom,

Two cultures come together.

As we learn from the old for the new,

An ancient culture is still present,

Even within the modernised world,

As we now move forward,

On one land, it is time for Reconciliation.
