Susan Ngwarraye Philomac – Spring Creek

Donkeys and horses would come and drink from the water at Spring Creek on my father’s country.  We would put a bucket in the sand we would filter the water so we could drink it.  When I was young girl we would go to Canteen Creek following the track along the hills, we would hunt turkey, emus and kangaroo and we would cut the bark and collect the sap from the sugar bag trees. `

Wild Passion fruit grow on our country Antarrengenye (unda ra ninya).

Bush Passion flower comes after the rain on our land.  We gather these once the fruit is ready.

Colleen Ngwarraye Morton – Altywart

When I was a little girl I would go and collect the seed from the altywart grass with my grandmothers.  They would teach us how to hang on to the tree and grind the seeds with our feet.  We would carry the seed in our coolamon back to the camp, then make damper cook it on the fire and eat with our families.

Dakota Ngwarraye Petrick – Mwanyen (Bush Tomatoe)

My twin sister Latoya and myself have just started painting bush flowers.  Our grandmother Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney shows us the good way.

This is the first time I have ever printed using a lino carving.  I did the Mwanyen (bush tomatoe) plant because it is sweet tasting fruit that we find in creek beds after the rain.
