Turtles drifting to sea but when it comes to winter that’s when it’s hatching season, lots of them… lay their eggs as they beach wherever the best spot without danger abouts…

New Growth
New growth when the season changes. The puddles of water of Mother Earth brings out the beauty of the Pilbara Country where wildflowers start to bloom. It’s a time of season that we know where we can go out and collect food and also just enjoy the Country.

My Country
The Pilbara is where my ancestors come from. The Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma people. There are many things that inspire me like the red hills and dirt, the many beautiful fresh water swimming holes, the rivers and creeks connected to them and the vibrant colours of the wildflowers that grow across the country side scattered amongst the spinifex and trees.

Freshwater Dreaming
I am inspired by the freshwater holes in my Grandmother’s Country, Ngarluma Land, located in the North West Pilbara Region of Western Australia. After it rains the waterholes, rivers and creeks fill up and flow through the Country; that’s the best time to go out bush and enjoy with the family.

Sea Turtle
When we see sea turtles it can mean that they can be mating and that makes us aware that they will soon be going to lay eggs. Some of our people eat the eggs and turtles.

Pilbara Hills
In our country, we have many hills of all different shapes and sizes. When driving through country at different times the colours change and some of the hills look like velvet in the evening and morning light .

After the Big Rain
After the rain the rivers and creeks in our country come alive with a new growth of plants. The country is filled with beautiful colours. We rejoice looking at our rivers and creeks full of water, so that we can go fishing, kids can go swimming and we can picnic with our families and friends.

Pilbara wildflowers at Dusk
In the last light of the day, the wildflowers and Country take on new colours. In the earth you can see glimmers of darker copper colours and deep burgundy as the last light of the day hits the Pilbara. The pinks represent the mulla mulla flowers and the desert sturt pea has changed from bright red to a subtle bronze red.
