  • Notes:
    This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Waringarri Aboriginal Arts that states: ‘This painting shows country to the east of Turkey Creek. At the top of the picture is the long range called Balankerr by the Gija people. It can be seen to theb south when following the road between Turkey Creek and Texas Downs Station. It is a very long steep unbroken hill. If seen from the air it could be described as “like a fence” as the artist does. In the middle is country called Lajibany where there are lots of springs and a creek flowing down to Texas Downs. At the bottom is a hill called Manyjooroo, literally “knees”.’
