This is one of the few remaining paintings from the late Queenie McKenzie’s estate. Yoornoor Country is located between Texas Downs and Mistake Creek, itself the site of a massacre of Kija people in 1915. The artist has described its underlying narrative as ‘In (dreamtime) the snake travelled through this country and it became what it is today. She set off from the little ridges; she kept going up and down the little hills looking as she went. She climbed up the hill called Wabngayirriny (shown top left) where she looked back. Then she climbed up Jawoorroogji and Jimarabji (shown in the centre of the painting). When she got to the fourth hill called Darrgayil she camped with her niece Darrgayil and they listened to all the hills she has left behind talking. She said to her niece,‘You and me won’t wait for them’, after that she climbed up behind Darrgayil and made a big waterhole called Larrini where she stayed for good (hills at the bottom of the work).’
