Our Flag
Our Flag serves as a powerful symbol of our unity, cultural heritage, and purpose. It stands as a recognisable and meaningful connection between the Corporation and the broader community, our members, partners, and allies. It communicates the Corporation’s values, mission, and commitment to building trust, awareness, and respect for the Ngarabal and Kwiambal peoples
The flag for the Severn River, Ngarabal, and Kwiambal Aboriginal Corporation, designed by Jeremy Worrall, embodies deep cultural significance and heritage. The design features a central koala adorned with traditional motifs, representing resilience, unity, and the connection of the Ngarabal and Kwiambal peoples to our Country. The surrounding elements, including native flora, symbolise the natural environment and the Corporation’s commitment to its preservation and care. The use of bold colours and intricate detailing highlights the richness of culture and the ongoing efforts to protect and promote heritage, fostering a strong and unified community.
