This is a picture all about the vision, the vision is something that I’ve got a special old lady beside me and every time I sleep I see her. I walk with her, and she shows me the beautiful painting. Every time she wanted to show me she usually get all the paint, with her hands and throw it on that flat rock and all of a sudden the picture automatically coming out. I see this how she do in my dream, and I put it in my head and every time I get up I just capture the painting how the old lady shows me.
And this place, I don’t know where it is that this old lady makes me do, but it’s a billabong at nighttime. The birds are diving ducks, fish, wild yam, and yalbun, all coming to the billabong, all the colourful flowers are eatable as well. This is the second vision she gave me. - Rhonda Duncan
