“We're doing painting in the art centre in Docker River. Sometimes, ladies dancing at the art centre. It makes us feel happy. Makes the art centre happy.”

“This is how our kids learn our stories. That way they don’t get lost.”

“Iriti — long time our old people have been painting. They started this art centre.”

“We have old ways, and new ways. [We painted on] canvas first – now fabric too.”

“Tjala wirunya, sweet one. My mothers taught me [to dig for honey ants].”

“Ngurra nyakuntjatku, go visit my father's country, my mother's country.”

“Out bush we cook some kangaroo tail; walk around looking for tingka and maku (sand goanna and witchetty grubs); making waru (fire) for cuppa tea.”

That’s our country. That kapi (rockhole). Men go one side, women other side. They throw rocks in the kapi to say “we here.”
