Gabul Ceremonies represents part of the Gabul  Creation Story as told by the Palm Island People. Gabul (The Big Carpet Python) is represented by the black and yellow pebbles near the centre of the sculpture, and is based on parts of a sketch by Billy Doolan. The brown pebbles represent the land and coastline of the region, and the granite bolder at the centre of the work represents the raised landforms (hills and islands).

 

The figures represent specific characters from the story.
