The cyclone symbols on both sides of the citation represents the time line of cyclonic events occurring between Cyclone Tasha in December 2010 and Cyclone Yasi in February 2011.[1] The swirls on the top and bottom of the citation represents waves associated with the mass flooding which occurred throughout many parts of Queensland.[1]
