ARTWORK STORY
Depicted in the top left corner of this painting are miniature Redcoats, a cross (representing death) and the British flag, flanked by a Mimi Spirit.
As they advance from the North and South Heads of Sydney Harbour, past the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, named streets lead to a gunyah — an Aboriginal dwelling.
Aboriginal people appear throughout the scene, alongside detailed birds and flowers. Waratahs, the NSW State flower, dot the landscape and flannel flowers with delicate points droop across the terrain.
Ayers Rock, officially renamed Uluru in 2002, dominates the outback landscape and represents remote Aboriginal communities, accompanied by wildlife including emu, kangaroo and birds. Female Mimi Spirits take giant steps as they guard the sky.
This painting tells the story of colonisation, the dispossession of Aboriginal people, and how this beautiful land was cleared.
