Out of stockThis painting captures my fascination of the colours, reflections, and movement in the waters of Nitmiluk Gorge, the rock faces that have witnessed many thousands of years of floods. Country watched over by the Jawoyn people and culture. As we came to the top of the first gorge, the scene emerged, the rock faces of the gorge, the distinctive nature of territory clouds all coming together.

Out of stockCamped at Curdimurka, just south of Lake Eyre (Kati Thanda) in the heart of Arabana country Here are remnants of a past glory that can easily disappear into the past. It is flat and featureless, but it does have a story. Reflect on the difficulties of building the Ghan dream. Here we have the old water storage, slowly falling apart, we have the old water treatment plant, leaning like the tower of Pizza. But there is more. Why here? The Ghan followed the inland telegraph, that followed the mounds springs, that were crucial to the ancient trading routes across Australia. This is where Stuart commenced his five expeditions into the Red Centre. This is outback Australia.

Out of stockWe talk about a timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola landscape. This view of Mt Ward is the iconic vista painted from the angle of Split Rock. I have tried to capture the essence of the landscape, the feel the morning breeze before the afternoon heat. Colour before the afternoon haze There is an interaction between the ruggedness and the beauty. Stretching out past Mt Ward we see the characteristic purple hue as the distant peaks fade into the horizon. Split Rock is a tea break stop along the famous Ridgetop Tour, which best exemplifies the character of this region.

Out of stockWe talk about the timeless grandeur of the Arkaroola Landscape. Arkaroola is synonymous with ancient geological ages. It is the most rugged expression of the Australian Landscape. At once powerful and untamed with a natural beauty. According to legend, Arkaroo, the great Dreamtime serpent lived in the Gammon Ranges. He felt very thirsty, so he slithered down to the plains and drank Lake Frome dry. When he had finished, he went back to the Gammons, his body gouging out Arkaroola Creek. The waterholes represent the places that he stopped and rested. Reflections in the water at the Bararranna Gorge Waterhole along Arkaroola Creek.
