Artwork Story: At low tide on the beach at Corindi we kids would ramble all over the rock platforms and explore the pools to see what was in them. I especially loved the star fish because of their colours and shapes. The circles on the design are the rock pools and the black lines and dots represent the star fish. The symbols also represent the coming together of the different members of my family to camp at Corindi Beach.
