CreatorPhyllis ThomasTitleTop Springs - RuganDate2006MediumOchre on canvasDimensions45cm x 60cmArtist StatementRugan is my community - part of the old Bow River Station and known to lots of people as Crocodile Hole. It's not far from Warmun, where I live now. The Community houses are on the Ord River to the south on the flatlands - good fishing and swimming for the kids in that big river. We used to have a school here, but now the kids go to the big school at Warmun Community. The hills are north of the river - beautiful country and one of my favourite places to paint. The colours of these hills change with the time of day and time of year. There is a big spring up in this country, with really cold water, that runs down to the south and into the Ord between the high country both sides.Accession Number037.2019Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
