Flying from Darwin to Kununurra, views of the serpentine Ord River cutting through the vast North-West left a lasting impression and integrated with the experiences of the month to follow.

Through extremes of weather, the meeting of earth, sky and water in a fusion of colour and texture provided visual stimuli of great potency. There are references to these initial aerial impressions with their cartographic perspective in the Bush Track works. Amongst the organic unions in these paintings, there appear linear symbols of emerging and disappearing bush tracks as they cross and follow the life giving creeks and water holes.
