Mosaic Tile (Past) Description -

On the outer edge of the Q150 Mosaic Tile (Past) are the names of the twelve towns in the Banana Shire.

The Cockatoo is the Aboriginal name for Biloela
The Possum is the Aboriginal name for Thangool.
The Echidna is the Aboriginal name for Jambin.

There are three mountains on the sides of the Q150 Mosaic Tile (Past) Mt Ramsay, Mt Scoria and The Isla Gorge.

In the centre is the Banana Shire Logo. The concept of the “b” in the Banana Shire logo depicts all roads lead to the Banana Shire. The tile also depicts the Cobb & Co Coach route through our shire.

Resting inside the “b” logo are aboriginal paintings representing the aboriginal people of the shire also.







Mosaic Tile (Future) Description -

The work on the Q150 Mosaic Tile (Future)) is based on the Banana Shire Logo, as we felt the logo was a very good design that had elements the BAVA Group wanted to express in our vision of the Shire’s future,

The White “b” in the centre represents the road to us, in which we were headed.

The Blue represents the water of the life and fresh air, that everything needs for growth.

The Green not only represents the land, but the Green technology that has been developed here, which will lead us to a greener future in the Shire.

While the variety of graduation from the brown reds to yellow presents all the industries in our region as a bright & colourful future.
Last but not least, the names of all the towns in our district flow into our path to the future because without these communities to will be no Future.
