Mirumalikan Yapung Parai shares the Swietelsky Story and commitment to family, team and communities within which they operate. Highlighting their footprint on Wonnarua country, the design celebrates family first, collaboration and brings an acknowledgement to traditional custodians of the land.
Central to the design a large gathering circle is reflective of Swietelsky Rail and holds much meaning. The innermost gathering circle depicts ‘Family First’ through traditional people symbols, highlighting Swietelsky’ s values of Our People, Family, Integrity, Respect and Excellence.
The gathering circle expands outward, connecting to a further circle of people symbols within the design, depicting the Swietelsky team, symbolic of inclusion, diversity and collaborative teamwork across the business. Within each person symbol, pathways can be seen reflective of Swietelsky’s people working in harmony with the pathways we weave upon the land.
A further four gathering circles within the design speak to sustainability in all areas of operations, reflective of the four key components of fairness, innovation, ecology and interaction. Each is encircled by five traditional people symbols depicting dimensions of employee wellbeing supported by the organisation: physical health, relationships, work life, financial health and mental health - supporting Swietelsky people to be their best selves at work but most importantly at home.
At the very top of the artwork Kawal the wedgetail eagle, Wonnarua’ s totem, soars high above country bringing an acknowledgment to traditional custodians of the land. Traditional symbolism for Elders also sits at the top of the canvas, contribution to this acknowledgment and reflective of paying respect to Wonnarua Elders past, present and emerging.
Tracks or pathways, with interwoven intricate designs, flow throughout the artwork and are reflective of train tracks and Swietelsky’s state-of-the-art maintenance machinery. Highlighting the creation of conditions so that people and goods can be transported safely, efficiently, economically and comfortably.
An engraved, gathering circle backdrop, highlights the Swietelsky footprint on country, from its head office in the Hunter Valley NSW, to Regional NSW, Sydney, Western Australia and Regional QLD. A pathway of these circles also flows horizontally across the canvas. Starting on the left with traditional water symbolism, reflective of Swietelsky’s origins in Austria, across Europe and into Australia, and growing as it flows to the right side of the canvas, depicting the organization’s Mission to continue growing the business, along the Vision to become industry leaders in the Nation.
Together the imagery of Mirumalikan Yapung Parai celebrates a journey together, around shared vision, for communities and Swietelsky across the land of the Wonnarua and the lands upon which they operate.
