It is a very beautiful and rugged part of the East Kimberley country in Western Australia. I have painted it before the wet time, but the waterholes still supply us with water. The mountain country to the south, called the Black Ranges, is very very rough and dangerous. It is almost impossible to get to this part in the Wet - but around May when the water has gone down, it's very beautiful. Our people have always gone here for camping and fishing and lots of good bush tucker. The Rainbow Serpent is said to have made all these creeks and rivers and waterholes during his travels in the Dreamtime. This part is all Gija country.Accession NumberG2020.7.4Access AdviceFor research purposes only. No reproduction without permission of Yarrila Arts and Museum.
