Image Descriptions:
Banner image - A person in jeans and runners sits perched in a gum tree.  Their back and partial profile are visible against a blue sky.
Slide 1: A circular decal on a concrete footpath reads 'Here We Walk'. A large rectangular decal further along the footpath shows a photograph of tree trunks. Arms in mustard-coloured sleeves hug one of the trees and a red cloth is tied around the trunk. 
Slide 2: Tree trunks. Arms in mustard-coloured sleeves hug one of the trees and a red cloth is tied around the trunk. 
Slide 3: The back of a person draped in a bright blue cloth. They have one hand resting on a tree trunk. 
​Slide 4: Stretched, satin cloth creates a bright orange, triangle across a pile of dried, brown leaves. 
Slide 5: The back of a seated person with light brown hair in a pony tail. They lean against the trunk of a tree. 
​Slide 6: Two tree trunks. Arms in light blue sleeves hug one tree and a red cloth weaves through the trunks. 
Slide 7: A large rectangular decal on the footpath shows a photograph of two tree trunks. Arms in light blue sleeves hug one tree and a red cloth weaves through the trunks. Four people of varying ages are walking by; they are only visible from their waists down.
Slide 8: A series of large rectangular decals on a footpath. Two people in raincoats look at the series of photographs on the wet concrete. In the nearest decal, a person in jeans and runners sits perched in a gum tree.
