Kaysten is painting a Mulyamiji (Great Desert Skink) while learning from Carol Williams about local endangered species.
“This painting is of the Mulyamiji and the big clayplan out there – those red, white and yellow dots are the flowers that grow next to the claypan.”
“They go inside, and when they poo they go outside, that’s how they keep their home clean. That’s how we find them when we go out looking for them.”– Carol Williams
