This painting reminds me of where aboriginal people used to walk and hunt for the beef and bush fruits. Our people had their own way of hunting for their food in every station. We never starve. This is how we grew up with bush tucker. We used to talk to Country before we do anything - before you sleep or find food. It was how they teach us to live.
