Roach told the Cairns Post performing the songs of Creation helps him remember the impact his music has had. “I think you realise (the songs) have actually grown through the years. I haven’t performed them for a little while, so they are quite fresh and new for me again. I think I interpret them in a different way now, they’ve had a chance to mature a bit.” {{cite web|url=https://www.cairnspost.com.au/entertainment/indigenous-pioneer-archie-roach-presents-creation-at-tanks-arts-centre-in-cairns/news-story/4a158dca3edef53fbdec56faf89fe076|title= Indigenous pioneer Archie Roach presents Creation at Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns|publisher=Cairns Post|date=10 July 2014 |accessdate=13 October 2018}}
