All art by Andrew Champion

The painting is an outback desert landscape near Uluru, blue skies, bright orange soils and at the centre of the painting, is one crazy cute Echidna from our past, when giant mega fauna roamed our country.
It's eyes are wide and fully open and it is standing erect and looks like a crazy cat ready to attack or defend itself.
It  may have been poked or threatened with being eaten, but on closer inspection, there are several foot long giant ants starting to climb the long legs of the 'Your Chidin", hoping to eat it.As the rain and storm clouds on the horizon approach, the shearers are preparing to get the shed ready to start shearing the sheep. 
The sheep have other ideas. 
The shearers look around and the sheep have disappeared.
"Where have they gone? They were here a minute ago"
The sheep have snuck out of the yards and hidden under the shearing shed floor.
They are not keen on the shearers clippers or getting wet in the rain.
The scene has some other hidden characters....There's a group of emus in the distant paddock, a couple of crows, a Wedge Tail Eagle and nest and a few rabbits.
Two old empty galvanized water tanks are ready to be filled by the rain.The central Australian desert is dark at night yet the stars above are brighter than those in the city.
Two emus and an aboriginal warrior stand in silent observation and thoughts as they look towards the "the rock", its reflective orange surface is a beautiful silhouette below the Dark Emu  that is somewhat hidden by the stars. There is an underlying respect.
The warrior can only be seen from certain angles and in certain light.
Many won't see him at all.
Why?
Lack of respect?
Tears flow across the dry parched earth of the surrounding outback landscape.The Collingwood captain  (# 10) Scott Pendlebury (captain, legend and making his 29th Finals appearance in the first 2023 finals game (7/09/23) and Jordon De Goey (#2) watch rising star Nic Daicos (#35), take a screamer over Carltons # 1 Jack Silvagni.
The scoreboard see the Pies leading the Blues by just 9 points in another close game.
The crowd is cheering and urging their team on.  Carn' the pies, go the blues, the intensity is vibrant.
