Bullun (Rockhole)
The blue cycle based on living waterhole and the pattern around it, it’s a rock. That where her country and that where she used to go fishing and hunting along with her family.
This is Lumpu Lumpu during the dry season. It’s got pamarr (rocks) at the back. There is a billabong at the front. My countrymen been camping here. They been catching bullocks and eating them. The station manager was angry about it so he came over the hills with some station hands and they shot and killed all the people. That’s this place now called Lumpu Lumpu.
This painting is of my mother and father’s country called Lumpu Lumpu. It is between Christmas Creek Station and Cherrabun Station. Before I was born my family lived around this area. It is good rocky country. There is good living water here. It is a sad place for me too. My father was killed here at Lumpu Lumpu.
