Bidjin Bidjin

This is the traditional country of the artist at Goodamanoo - Legune Station at a place called Bidjin Bidjin near a saltwater creek and a freshwater billabong. "We used to walk here to go fishing in the saltwater creek. Once when we were there my brother fell down when he caught a big catfish - Oorloorl. The tide was coming in and we had to help pull him out. We used to catch fish with meat tied onto rope in those days. We didn't have fishing line."

Etchings 25, 27 & 35 from editions of 50 are available.

The three plates for this etching were created during a workshop conducted by Northern Editions at Waringarri Aboriginal Arts in April 2008. This work forms part of a collectors folio titled the Waringarri Suite available through the gallery.
