This painting is where my mum was born at old Flora Valley Station - Wungu. She was born in a little creek near the homestead.

My mum was also raised out there, she walked that country with the old people from there, they also taught her the language, culture and traditional ways of living as they would often have to hunt for their food. there are the two main ranges, the three rivers, Black Elvire, Fox and Johnson River. The creek on the bottom is where my mum was born.

As a child Janet would follow her mum when they walked to these creeks and rivers to fish. The Jaru countryside is a dry and hot area especially when walking. Although walking would be tiring and overwhelming this was something that would happen 4-5 times a week. The rivers they visited were filled with fish, turtle, and freshwater crocs.
