The artwork depicts the male Red Kangaroo Rock Dreaming and the RAP journey of Adelaide Oval. This is carved from wood to pay tribute to the significance of redwood and eucalyptus trees, in addition, the organic shape symbolises the vital role that people play in fostering reconciliation and unity.

Tarntanya or Tarnta Kanya was the name given to this area in the time of creation, meaning the male Red Kangaroo Rock. The significance of this area was the sacred rock on the banks of the Karrawirra Pari or River Torrens – being the meeting place for many people and groups travelling to Tarntanya for ceremonies.

After entering the sky world, Tarnta’s spirit still watches over man today, to make sure they follow the pathway and rules he gave to live in this country. This country, being the home for Kaurna Miyurna for thousands of years, is now shared by many people from around the world.

It is still Kaurna Miyurna responsibility to ensure safe passage to visitors, and the people that walk and live across this country today respect and acknowledge the ancestors that still live within these lands. When welcomed in language, we connect people to spirit.
