CreatorJune PetersTitleKing Brown Dreaming - Cattle CreekDate2006MediumOchre/CanvasDimensions60cm x 45cmArtist StatementThis country called Cattle Creek is on Texas Downs Station. There is another Cattle Creek, but that's on the Duncan Highway and is Uncle Jock Mosquito's community called Ngling Anjaru in language (Jaru language). The part I have painted is south of Red Butte going down towards Joel Springs painted in grey. All this part around here is Loong Buring country in Kitja way, and it is the home of a very big King Brown Snake who was a man in the Ngarrangkarni (Dreamtime). He lived in this area and his spirit is still here. This is my totem from my mother's side. This is my home country around here on Texas Downs.Accession Number032.2019Access AdviceFor research purposes only. No reproduction without permission of Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery.
