Story: Byanimby, Goormbidja & Bulyunga – these are my son’s names and the name of the hills. During the wet season there are waterfalls and run off creeks that flow down from the hills.

All around is Mulgnin – spinifex country. The spinifex clumps in my country are big. You can hide a man in this country. Around the edge of the painting are the palm trees. Some of these bush palms grow very tall.

Waringarri Aboriginal Arts is a wholly Indigenous owned Art Centre situated in the heart of Miriwoong Country at Kununurra in the east Kimberley. The centre operates as an artists studio and gallery supporting culture and community.
