Arrente Country

Whiskey has painted Arrente country.  As a young man Whiskey worked extensively across the Central Desert region as a "cowboy" - mustering cattle and breaking in horses for station owners.  After working a while up  in that Arrente Country, he became homesick and so came back to his ngura (country) on the APY Lands in south Australia.  Whiskey says this is not a Tjukurpa (Dreaming) story in this painting, it is just him remembering that place where he used to work.  He remembers that there was lots of good tucker around that Arrente country, and men and women would often go hunting for rabbits and other bush meats.
