The artwork: Pilbara Creeks

“During the rainy season many creeks are hidden among the rocky hills of our Country. Big rains bring the animals to come drink from the water and the wildflowers grow again. We love to go fishing on the banks of the creeks, catching many different varieties of fish. Going to places like this is a family day out where we enjoy fishing and cooking and time together just enjoying company with each other. I like to just sit and watch and enjoy the beauty of the place and the smell of the sea. The colours of the creeks blend in with the river sand and paint a beautiful picture of the landscape.” – Allery Sandy
