JOURNEY OF HOPEThe Journey of Hope begins at the centre of the artwork, at the ceremony circle, the yarning circle. At the same time, the ‘U’ shaped symbols represent people seated around a campfire, and the daffodil shape represents Cancer Council. The pathways that lead into the circle are the roads that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people travel along from all different regions across Australia from urban to regional, rural and remote communities on their Journey of Hope to find the best possible cancer treatment.
