Our Future, Our Australia
I think that Australia is the best place in the world and we are very lucky to live here. My future for Australia has all people and animals living and working together to keep Australia beautiful and fun.
Amazing Australia
My topic is fresh water critters. I have chosen water python, saw shelled turtle, fresh water crab, short head sea horse, fresh water crocodile and parrot fish. I liked using these Australian critters because they had interesting shapes that made the word Google.
Creature Doodle
I like to draw animals and the google shapes make great animals. When I grow up I want to look after animals. We have lots of amazing creatures in Australia and they all need someone to care about them. My creature doodle might help people remember to be kind to creatures even the little ones like flies.
My Imagination
My Doodle for Google is about Rainbows, people, butterflies and love hearts. I drew people because they are happy because they are in a beautiful country.
I Love Australia
I think Australia is a very special country. I designed my artwork to show the things I love about our country including our flag, the sunshine and the animals including the koala.
Australian Beautiful Animals
I drew Australian animals because Australians like animals. Crocodiles are native to Australia and people come from lots of places to look at crocodiles
My Wishes for Australia
I hope that in Australia’s future we will all recycle to help the environment. We will all get the right amount of food, all get along and have FUN!!!
Renewable Energy for the Future
The "G's" is solar panels that produce electricity from the sun. The "O's" represent the sun's extreme energy. The "L" represents a satellite important for communicating information. The "E" represents the earth's green environment. I hope people use solar panelled cars to stop poisonous carbon fumes going into our atmosphere.
In Touch with Nature's Future
My future Australia would be a country where people made changes to create a better and greener future. The hand represents how we can make a change, while the leaves and the trees are aspects contributing to a greener future.
The Australian Future
The two "O's" represent houses that might contain solar panels in the future. The first "G" represents Australia. The second "G" represents carbon that companies use. The "L" represents people cutting down trees to make new things. I see a green place with solar power and animals everywhere.
Animal Rights
In my words I think Australia is perfect as it is if animals had a say too! In my picture I have shown the value of life in big and small animals. I think that people around Australia need to really think ahead of how animals are being treated.
Our Great Emergency Services
What a future Australia has! We possess the best health and emergency services in the world. What a place to grow up, have children and grow old!
Australia's Multiculturalism
Australia is a place of peace and harmony where all cultures can live together. My future Australia continues to have this unity.
Reaching Out
I decided that I would show two hands reaching out in a sign of ongoing respect.
My Future Australia
My future Australia would be that we tend and care for our native flowers and native animals. The flowers I have drawn are the Sturt's Desert Pea and Sturt's Desert Rose. They are the floral emblems of South Australia and Northern Territory. The koalas are native animals to Australia. They are found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Brolgas are found across tropical northern Australia, southwards through north-east and east central areas. I drew the fish because it represents the Great Barrier Reef.
Wildlife Of Australia
My drawing is about all the wildlife in Australia. I have drawn a range of Australian birds and trees. I have drawn a boab tree, a parrot, a pink and grey galah and a few other things. I want my Future Australia to have MORE NATURE! LESS CITYS!
An Eco friendly Australia
In my design I have included symbols that represent an Eco friendly Australia in the future. My wish for Australia is for it to be Green Power because “green is good”. Australians eating more organic fruits and avoiding chemicals.
My Future Australia
My Future Australia is creating more National Parks and saving the environment. I want a place to go when the world around me darkens, and the only place I could find refuge in is nature itself, away from man-made environment and people. Sometimes nature is such a good refuge that I escape my own self. The environment saves me, so I am responsible enough to save it.
Opportunities
My google design represents all the dreams and ambitions children have growing up. Everyone's future is different and every child aspires to achieve different things. Australia is a very free country and I hope it stays that way for many years to come.
Stay Green Forever
In my perspective, I would love if Australia stayed green, healthy and colourful. For the doodle I drew native plants and a native animal. I’d love if all the native plants and wildlife lived in a clean and healthy environment. My future Australia is clean, natural and full of life.
Unique Australia
I have chosen to do this design for the " My Future Australia" theme, as it represents our land, animals and how different and unique everything is. It shows my vision for the future, that we have all of our wonderful environment living together in peace.
Clean and Caring
When I think of Australia in the future I think of a cleaner Australia. I think of more trees and more native animals so I included a koala in a gum tree. I hope that we can use cleaner energy, use bikes and walk instead of driving and keep our planet clean so I chose a wind turbine and bicycle for the "O’s" and the "L". The colours behind the "G’s" and "E" are the Australian flag
Kangaroo Playground
My doodle shows sunshine, nature and native animals. I hope my future Australia cares about the environment and there is large amounts of flora and fauna.
A Recycled Australia
My future Australia picture is a recycling plant. I would like more recycling plants all over Australia. I hope it will encourage more people to stop littering and start recycling. This will keep our beaches more pristine and bring more tourists to our shores.
My Future Australia
My Future Australia means a race against time. My doodle portrays the impact of environmental issues not only to Mother Nature, but Australia as a whole. The image challenges the audience on what they perceive as reality and acts as a glimpse into the future of Australia and the world
Australia in Space
My design is about outer space, hopefully in the future Australia will be able to make the journey to unexplored planets.
My Future Australia
Australia Is....
For the future of Australia I would like to see a community working together to keep Australia clean and free. I would like to see all Australians protecting Australia and not letting our home be ruined for profit.
Advancing Australia!
This doodle shows some of the possibilities for Australia's future - new technologies, great cities, world class culture, love of our outback heritage, a clean environment and pride in our nation. It shows where we have come from and where we might be going.
A Clean Energy Future
In the future, people will have polluted the atmosphere sufficiently that we now must rely on clean energy. My Google logo includes solar panels, a wind turbine and an energy efficient light bulb to represent future energy.
