Pacific Black Ducks and ducklings are a common sight on the River Torrens and the Lochiel Park Wetland and represent the importance of water for supporting life.

River Red Gums are shown as they are an important element of the local habitat and Kaurna culture.

The Southern Purple-spotted Gudgeon is included in the design as this is a critically endangered fish and is symbolic of the fight to preserve our environment.

A Purple Swamphen is shown as it is another local species that is dependent upon the wetland.

The blue background represents water and the circles represent light reflecting on the surface and bubbles underwater.
