In our Pilbara country, we have many hills of all different shapes and sizes. When driving through country at different times the colours change. There is water flowing down from the hills through the land. The wildflowers pop up when the Pilbara weather starts getting warmer, the sun comes out.
This painting shows the clay pan of the pilbara from an aerial perspective.
This painting shows the different types of wildflowers that come out during the springtime season like the white mulla mulla.
The colours in the background represent the pilbara landscape with a hint of colour piercing through representing the scattered wildflowers found all across the countryside.

Thama (fire) and jinda (charcoal): When you get the marruwa (snakewood) and make fire, you see it burning, burning, burning. After the fire burns the wood becomes black, jinda (charcoal). And then the ash comes. Marruwa is the best stick to burn because it burns so hot.

This is a special site for our people. A ceremonial place that has been passed down to us from elder to elder. It is a place where people ask for bush tucker in their country.For this to work, we rub the white chalk from Jiirda on our hands then scatter it back onto the Jiirda hill and say where we want the plants to grow.

Our country Millstream! This county of ours holds a lot of respect for us and for how our ancestors roamed the land . So this is about waterholes and how our ancestors survived their thirst when it was a hot day. This beautiful country of ours has water running everywhere and we know where the water sources are as this knowledge was passed on to us by our ancestors.
