This lovely new, eye catching and thoughtful sculpture adorns the grassy area just near the Freedom group of shops at Capalaba. It is easily seen as you travel along Moreton Bay Road.
There is ample parking behind the sculpture.
Why not come and have a closer look.

"Passages"
by ARTVENTURE Paul D Johnson and Gail Mason
The subject of the Capalaba entry statement is the culturally and historically significant crossing at
Tingalpa Creek. Themes move between Aboriginal history and European settlement.
The custom arm depict the history of Capalaba:
● the meaning of Capalaba - Jandai language
'kapalla' meaning ringtail scrub possum which
features on the arm, and 'ba' meaning place of
● a scar tree that has had a section cut out to use in
Canoe making
● the Bora rings of the Quandamooka people
● recycled hardwood from the 1874 bridge across
Tingalpa Creek
● the cobbled fork (creek crossing ) across
Tingalpa Creek.
The 11 metre central collumn is a representation of the Phaius Orchid (Phaius australis), an endangered species which is native to the region.
The timbers at the base are also from the original bridge that crossed Tingalpa Creek.
