Indigenous Round
In 2022, when the Association introduced the Indigenous Round, we were lucky enough to have our bibs designed by artist, Ashleigh Bruza.
We are forever grateful for her work! Here is the story behind the design.
The artwork is influenced by the country where Tanunda is located and highlights the following:
• The magpie: the teams mascot and native bird that is plentiful in the Barossa.
• Magpies are known to symbolise positivity and success.
• Tanunda meaning waterhole or many water birds and this is depicted in the design of from the bottom left hand side of flowing water that pools behind the magpie.
• Magpie tracks signifying the birds presence on country
• Along the flowing lines are campsites/resting places representing the First Nations people of the region.
• Community and spirit is depicted on the top left hand corner of the design as community gathering is a significant part of local sport and presence in country towns.
• Lastly on the top right hand side of the artwork, the constellation Pleiades or “The Seven Sisters” is depicted. The seven sisters and their connection are influenced by their connection to water and femininity.
