Whiskey has painted Arrernte Country.As a young man Whiskey worked across the Central Desert as a 'Cowboy' mustering cattle and breaking in horses. Sfter working for a while he became homesick so returned to his country on the APY lands SA. Whiskey says this is not a Tjukurpa (dreaming) story nut is his remembering where he used to work. He remembers alot of good tucker in this country, and men and women would often go hunting for rabbits and other bush meats.
