This beautiful painting of mixed media with watercolour back ground captures the vast deminsions of inland Australia, it's ruggedness and colours. Iconic images - the Emu, The Kangaroo, The Cockatoo and Goanna all go about their day and the rusty barbed wire fence means nothing.

On behalf of the Gallery we firstly acknowledge the land now known as Australia belonged to a Nation of People, widely sophisticated, Aboriginal people of Culture, With Gratitude to our Elders past, present and emerging, the Country's ancient Cultural heritage. Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land.
We hope that by sharing the Stories of the Artworks more attention is paid to the land supporting us through the emmense Generational Knowledge of this Country Aboriginal people have.
