"This is the sandhill country, Jilji, in the Great Sandy Desert. On and on they go. In between the Jilji, that’s called Bila, flat country. The Jilji can be close, or further apart.
The land may be burnt, or with the green grass that comes after. Burn the grass and then the bush turkeys come, to eat the exposed bugs. Or you can easily hunt lizards.
There might be flowers, Putipula, sometimes, or trees, different trees and grasses, and a lot of it is bushtucker."
Exhibited at Bunbury Art Award 2017
