| |
| Bai Bai has painted a food story for
some of her traditional country, south of Balgo, in The Great
Sandy Desert. The country here is called Mintirr, and is a
section of steep, rocky country, separating tali, or sand
dune country to the south and the plains country to the north.
The cliffs are shown near the centre of the painting. It is
around these cliffs that witjilki is found, a seed that grows
on a tree that falls off when ripe. The seeds are collected
in coolamons and then ground up flour to make damper. |
