The ochre cross represents Christ in the centre of our lives.

The green blades are our 4 congregations who are joined together as on in Christ.  These are arranged in the form of a windmill, iconic outback/farming imagery.  The Holy Spirit is the wind powering the windmill.  The river is the life-giving stream of faith, flowing from the cross, watering the parched earth of our souls.  This is open-ended and never ending, flowing not just to us but also our communities and the world.  The colours were chosen to represent God's amazing creation around us - the earth, plants, sky.  In response to God's mercy and blessings we are CHRIST'S LOVE IN ACTION.
