Legacy

In 2026, Queensland graffiti artist James Hillier, who posts on Instagram under the name Nordacious, used a line from Two Strong Hearts which features the words “river to the sea”, and a slice of watermelon.[10] On March 28, Queensland Police stated that they asked him to remove the graffiti, as river to the sea had become hate speech in Queensland earlier that month.[11]
