The mural in the reception area at HCSC was literally the effort of many hands! Staff and family joined hands one Saturday morning and created a work of art! Hidden amongst those hands are animals that also have a meaning such as the green tree frog, a symbol of renewal and opportunities, and the Cooktown orchid, the state flower of Queensland. The rainbow and its colours have religious significance for some, symbolise gay pride for others, or simply represent good luck, especially to those buying a Golden Casket lottery ticket!
A dragonfly, hidden amongst green hands reminds us that nothing is quite like it seems. Hands represent connections and, if you look closely, you will notice a beautiful hand-flower that connects the Australian national flag with our Indigenous flags.
The mural is also the home for four gadget panels that will engage young visitors with their colours and activities. The purchase of the gadget panels, the reception television, and some of the books was able to happen thanks to a grant from the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disabilities Services, Caring for Our Community Grant.
