- Artwork story
- Domi was born in this area so it holds special significance for him. He has painted a lake that he swam in as a small boy. The lake was dug during the 'Tjukurrpa' or Dreamtime by a sacred bandicoot. Domi tells of his parents showing him the guarded location of several trees that have succulent sweet berries and were a great joy to eat.
