Protecting Country

Artwork represents the elders passing on their knowledge to the younger generations about protecting their country. It represents all the beautiful scenery around the Fitzroy River with river banks, water, the river, seeds, wildflowers which my ancestors walked. We must teach the younger generations to respect Mother Nature so its preserved for all our future generations.
