This painting is about the Mega Fauna bones that are found near Engawala Community.
This painting, Alcoota Fossil Site is about the story of the Alcoota fossil site, discovered in the 1950s on Alcoota Station, where prehistoric life have been preserved beneath the earth for millions of years when huge creatures roamed the region. These animals, long extinct, once dominated the landscape that can only be seen from the skeletal remains found deep beneath the surface.
This painting shows the bones still in the earth, patiently waiting to be unearthed. There is a strong connection between the community and the land where the fossils are found.
