These hand painted Emu eggs sit cradled in a bed of Emu feathers, symbolising the deep and unbreakable connection between land, life and spirit. The intricate patterns painted onto the Emu eggs reflects the winding paths of country, rivers, songlines and the stories carried through generations. These pieces are a tribute to the strength of our Ancestors, the beauty of our lands and the stories that live on through us.
Handmade snake carved out of red gum wood with burned etching.
Uncles and i used to go grubbing a lot among the gum leaves under the gumtrees. Certain times of the year you would find many grubs or many rain moth that the grubs evolved into.
A place where my uncle showed me all the sacred areas around the junction such as oven mittens, where many Musselshell’s were left over from many years ago, lots of scar trees and many camping and fishing areas around the Murray-(Dungala) and Campaspe River. A place where many gathered to meet from surrounding areas, which has become my special place.

Many years ago, as a child we used to see large, long neck turtles walking out of the river at laying season. This is my totem.
