The Kurranji, Cassowary, lives in North QLD. In the old days our people used to hunt and eat them.
The Kurranji is now a protected species and are sacred to some tribes. The feathers were used as a decoration in tribal ceremonies.
These tees have been printed using 6 different colours.

Biography:
I was born in Parrngurr, Cotton Creek, in the old clinic there. I grew up there and then I moved to Punmu for a long time. I still live there in Punmu, but sometimes I come to all the communities.
My grandmother taught me to paint, Muni Rita Simpson. Then I tried my best to keep on painting. I paint about the Punmu waterholes like Wilarra, Rawa, Tiwa, Juntu - Juntu.
Sometimes I do work here at Martumili, stretch canvas, fill the colours, and sometimes help the oldies.
