Ceri Evans, Serenity Falls (LANDSCAPE 2023)

Serenity Falls in Buderim Forest, Queensland, Australia. According to aboriginal lore, the three falls in Buderim Forest Park are three beautiful maidens, sisters, whose warrior lovers were slain whilst out hunting. After searching, the maidens found their dead bodies. Disconsolate, they wept continuously until impatient gods, weary of their sorrow, changed them into the three falls of the valley; but as we know, even the gods cannot stay love, and the three dead warriors immediately changed themselves into rainbows. To this day, should you care to look, you may still see the iridescent flash of the rainbows’ colours gleaming through the falls’ waters.
