This was very cool and done by an aboriginal artist named Michael Nelson Jagamarra in 1988. I'd like to point out that when you see photos of this piece of art work, most of them seem to have the color deeply enhanced. I did saturate the colors a bit more then what is in the original images, but the mosaic itself is very muted. I don't know if this is because the stones were dry, or just their natural color. I've tried to preserve the image to look like what I saw and not what I remember/imagine it to be. It is a beautiful piece of artwork that seems to be passed over since it is quiet literally overshadowed by the new parliament house.
