Portraying one of Australia’s most recognisable coastal birds, the pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus), gliding effortlessly across still water. Framed by the gentle patterns of ripples and reflections, the bird moves with a quiet confidence, its distinctive bill and elegant form creating a striking silhouette against the dark surface of the water.

A familiar sight throughout Queensland’s coastal environments, Pelicans play an important role in the rich ecosystems of bays, rivers, and wetlands. Their presence is often a reminder of the health and abundance of these waterways, making them an enduring symbol of Australia’s connection to the coast.
