Special healing water (Guda Guda, Kurta Kurta country) My Grandfather's country. This painting is about the special water, its a healing water hole in my grandfather country. The old people would walk all the way there to get the water for healing. It also heals the animals, if they have a broken wing or a broken leg they would drink from the water and be healed. You can't get there now, it is too far. To get there you need to take a helicopter. The old people would walk there all the time back in the day, they were fitter than us back then!
