Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – Arlewatyerr (Sand Goanna)
When the arlewatyerr (goannas) run into the hole we block the front and find it through the top of the ground. We use the digging stick to hold it and we then find and grab the tail and pull it out and then hit it on the head to kill it.
We take back to camp, clean them and cook it in the hot coals.
I like to hunt for sand goanna. This is a good food to catch and cook for me and my family

Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – My Grandmothers Country
I still hunt my Grand Mothers country for goanna, bush medicine and yams.
I hunt all year round, hunting and walking through the country makes me happy. When I look at the distant hills I can feel my grandmother. Bush flowers are everywhere.
Painting and printing my grandmother’s country reminds about those times.

Daisy Kemarre Turner – Irrultja, My Country
I was born in Irrultja and I grew up with my mother, father and sister. My mother was the strong painter Rosie Ngwarraye Ross, and my grandmother Biddy Kemarre was a member of the Utopian Batik movement. My sister Margaret Kemarre Ross and my daughters, Rosemary, Desma and Danielle Ngwarraye Turner are all strong artists who paint and live in Ampilatwatja. We all paint the bright and beautiful wild flowers that grow here.
Irrultja is hill country and my mother and father took me hunting, we hunted kangaroo and goanna and cooked them in the fire in the shade of trees. We collected bush tucker and strong bush medicine – Arreth. We loved collecting the small delicious bush tomato and bush medicines to wash our hair and soothe our skin. I loved swimming and playing with my sister as a child.

Rosemary Ngwarraye Turner – My Landscapes
I love flowers that grow wild in the bush. My Grandmother Rosie Ross taught me how to paint, and paint how I feel. I watched her paint and I took on what she did. I feel happy and relaxed when I paint.
I love all bright colours, I am known for my most beautiful bright colours. My chidren are proud of me when I paint
