Munni Munni Hills

When I was a little girl I walked around my parents camps where we grew up, they worked the station. I would look after the station owners children at Munni Munni Hills.

Biography:

My name is Pansy Hicks. I am a Ngarluma Elder, one of the two remaining traditional owners of the Ngarluma land, the land of the Saltwater people.

I’ve been painting for a long time. I paint about Munni-Munni Hill, that’s over Cheeritha way. It’s got some carvings there too… but that’s a man’s site… I can’t say about that.

That hill looks like a zebra. That’s why we call it Munni-Munni Hill.

I also paint ‘Stepping Stones – When The World Was Soft’. That’s about when our ancestors were here, a long time ago.

I like painting, you know when you’re feeling down or got worries… then painting will help you.
