• Notes:
  'Thundi (or Thunduyi) is her father's Country, adjacent to a river near the island's northern tip, which runs parallel to a ridge of tall sandhills that skirt its north-eastern coast. A large saltpan marks the wet season extent of the river, while its dry season form is flanked by mangroves. The river empties out onto a large sand and mud flat to the north, which reveal large sandbars at low tide.Many of Sally's early paintings featured this river area, an important fishing place. Colourful flashes of paint indicate her favourite fish species, the bluefish.'
