Gertie Deeral, Jijirr-nay & Walngga-wi

Gertie Deeral, Jijirr-nay & Walngga-wiAcrylic on canvas 76. 2 x 76. 2 x 3cm Jijirr nay is the Guugu Yimithirr word for all kinds of birds, and Walngga wi means swamp or lagoon. During the wet season, the lagoons fill with water, and all the birds arrive. Its their breeding time, and theres plenty of foodberries, fish, insects, lilies, dragonflies, frogs, and worms. Its a true sign of abundance. I love painting birds and I love my country. I also enjoy watching them. We also like hunting
