| Description/Remarks | Abstract landmap depicts amorphic shapes in red ochre and slate blue on an orange ground; each shape delineated with a border of cream-coloured dots. From Waringarri Aboriginal Arts - "Print Description: This print shows traditional country at Goordamanoo - Leune Station - at a place called Bidjin Bidjin, near a saltwater creek and a freshwater billabong. 'We used to walk here to go fishing in the saltwater creek. Once when we were there my brother fell down when he caught a big catfish - Oorloorl. The tide was coming in and we had to pull him out. We used to catch fish with meat tied onto a rope in those days; we didn't have fishing line.' " |
