Explanations related to this Aboriginal painting :

Ms P. Thomas has painted objects associated with Gija burial rituals. " After somebody pass away, the old people wouldn't eat beef for one month or long time and just have fish and witche􀆩y grub- lakranel. And they would make a chain out of hair- Dungul in Gija, and rub it with larkanal and kuntarril (fish) and wear it around the neck to remind them of the one passed away". Phyllis says this was also a sign to other people not to cook meat nearby- "they have to go long way." It was also part of Gija ritual to place the body of the dead in ant pits, or termite mounds. This painting shows ceremonies surrounding death.

Explanations related to this Aboriginal painting :

Journey's between Woonggool and Nganyjoowarrji inform this major work for Tommy Carroll. Woonggoolis a distinctive hill that can be seen to the south of the Gibb River Road near Wyndham in Western Australia. Wangul bears the same name as Tommy's grandfather.

It is the origin of Nganyjoowarrji Ngarranggarni (Dreaming), the snake who created this country, travelling all the way down to Doon Doon. Nganyjoowarrji is Tommy's country. He is named after the last large waterhole, that Ngarranggarni snake hole. Nganyjoowarrji, Tommy Carroll and Woonggool his grandfather travel this country; the canvas symbolises and activates these journeys.

Explanations of this Aboriginal painting :

This is Rugan country south of Warmun. White people call it Crocodile Hole. There is a deep gorge here where the local people fish. You can catch many black bream and catfish. There are two important stories for this place: One involves the drowning of a man in the old days. He was a good climber and was climbing the walls of the gorge chasing a rock wallaby when he slipped on loose rock and fell into the gorge. Local history says he was taken under by a large freshwater crocodile. The other story repeatedly told about this place centres around the drowning of a woman in about 2001/2002.

She was not an old woman and she could swim. However she had been drinking and had swum across to the far side of the gorge. On her way back, Phyliss says "she got short of wind" and was taken under by a large crocodile. It is unusual for freshwater crocodiles in Australia to attack
humans. Kija people now warn their children not to swim in Crocodile Hole and to sit up the bank, not right on the water's edge, when fishing.
