This is Woodbrook Station. You can see the managers house and the shearers house and the kitchen. This is how I remember it before the cyclone came and destroyed the buildings. I paint with my feet on the ground, but I can map out the country as if I was flying over. I have painted this from my memory. Instead of painting with dots and marks like traditional aboriginal paintings I like to paint things figuratively so everyone can understand.
