Jane has painted some country
and story, north east of her home Billiluna. This country is known as Barton
and is found along the middle stretches of Sturt Creek. In the Tjukurrpa
(Dreaming), a goanna and crocodile lived here. The goanna got jealous of
the crocodile and they had a big fight. The goanna won telling the crocodile
he had to leave. The crocodile travelled west to new country, Wangurr,
where he stopped and lived for a very long time. The black areas show the
black soil that is found here, while the yellow is Sturt Creek and the
tracks of the two reptiles, along with the place they had their fight. |
