An update on Brocco

Wow time is certainly flying and thankfully we are well on the way with our Archibull project.  As a group we decided that we wanted Brocco to really stand out because there are a lot of additional fixtures to our art work.  We decided that our cow should focus on the way in which Australia is an island and all parts are interlinked.
We are proud to live in a country where farmers are using sustainable farming practices too feed its people. Our cow explores the nature of Australian waterways and the fact that they are interlinked.  Essentially what happens to our river systems in Queensland effects rivers in NSW, Victoria and South Australia.  Brocco focuses on the importance of all Australians looking after our waterways by reducing the amount of waste that enters the river systems.  Our finished cow will also include some special Aboriginal Art work to remind us of the special relationship Aboriginal Australians have with the land.  When viewing our cow please remember to look at the symbolic patterns the shells form on 'the beach', which represent waterways and keep an eye out for the fabulous art work done by Shane in year one.
