The wildflowers just cover the desert ground, with so many brilliant colours, purples, yellows, whites, reds, etc. The wildflowers transform the desert into something that is just amazing to see. Fields and fields of flowers. Running through the mountain ranges, the plains, and near the dry river beds. The red sand shines through the flowers.
My Great Uncle Walter was the Rainmaker for the Eastern Arrernte tribe. He was initiated in the deepest laws for the Eastern Arrernte. He was the holder of the tjurunja stones and board. Our tribe is from Alice Springs, Central Australia

One of the sacred waterholes is Heavitree Gap. Heavitree gap is the only access to Alice Springs from the South. The next is Emily Gap and that is where the caterpillars came together to start the Caterpillar Dreaming Trail. The next waterhole is Jessie Gap which is a ceremonial place.
This painting represents Perenti Dreaming. The Perenti made the fire burn from all different places and ended up burning down to a place named Wire Creek Bore which is situated on the North side of Ooodnadatta (South Australia). From all those different places the Perenti formed the land.
The circles are where the fire started to burn and ended burn. The track is the travel of the fire across the land.
