Yipirinya. My home. My country. Here I was born, all my family, all my ancestors. My favourite place in the whole of this world. I feel connected to this land forever. This is how I see it. This is how it is. This is Yipirinya. Mountains, hills, gorges, gaps, chasms, caves, underground water running everywhere, waterholes, rockholes, rivers, creeks, water everywhere. We have the biggest running river under Aroomina. Since the Dreamtime began. Many others came to our country in times of great drought, Aroomina saves them.
Kula Marta.
Not so long ago I had the privilege of working on top of the mountains, hills (West MacDonnell Ranges) making walking trails for tourists. It was magnificent, mind blowing – touches one’s soul. I knew the Old Man was around. He could smell me, he knows me. He is the Rainbow Serpent. Our mob’s from Yipirinya. I’ve seen his home. My brothers took me there.
The little black/white robins high up, and the highlight seeing a red, black, white fairy wren and a yellow, black, white and a blue black white one. All three together at once, same time. Remarkable. If you’ve ever been to Yipirinya you’ll know. If not, get pictures, then you see. This way I paint my country. It’s how I see. It’s perfection, not my painting, but the country. Yipirinya is perfection.
Ngarte gave us Yipirinya therefore Yipirinya is Perfection.
Because Ngarte is all perfection. He created everything, all that is. Every human being is perfection (a masterpiece). Just as all the earth.
But my favourite is Yipirinya (Alice Springs, NT). I feel my ancestors loving me, hugging, touching me. Every single thing loves me in Yipirinya, flowers, plants, birdies, marlu, mountains, hills, rivers, all the animals, fish, even the wind and rain, sun and the moon. Everything, even you.
You’re looking at Aranda country, thank you Ngarte.
I hope you really enjoy my work, my country and your country too.
Todd River, Emilys Gap and Jessies Gap form on the North and pass through to the south of range, running out east onto flat ground. But most water goes underground and joins the big river. Waterways underground may go as far south as Ceduna on the south coast of S.A.
Yipirinya is the second highest area in Australia so all water runs down, amazing place our Yipirinya.
May you all enjoy my Yipirinya painting. Bless you all.
