We 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.

Palm Valley in the Finke Gorge National Park. It is close to Hermannsburg (Ntaria). This is the land of the Western Aranda people. There is character in this fascinating landscape; water smoothed rocks tell of vast torrents of water, and yet it exists in an arid landscape. The frequent pools support the Red Cabbage Palm, reminiscent of a previous climate, then there are the white trunked gums that the Hermannsburg school of artists have so famously represented.

Palm Valley in the Finke Gorge National Park. It is close to Hermannsburg (Ntaria). The Mpulungkinya Walk takes you to the amphitheatre at the head of the valley immersed in the lands of the Western Aranda people. There is character of this fascinating landscape, water smoothed rocks that tell of vast torrents of water, and yet it exists in a pretty arid landscape. The frequent pools support the Red Cabbage Palm and those white trunked gums that the Hermannsburg school of artists have so famously represented.

Camped 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.

This 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.
