Jock Mosquito Mulardie River Way 12195
Ochre on canvas 120 x 150cm SOLD
This place is Nicholson country fair way to the north of Ngling Anjaru (Cattle Creek which is Jock’s Community). Those
hills there – well, the two top ones are Carbaw country and the two bottom ones are Wiradie country. In the middle is all
called Mulardie. That Mulardie River only flows in the wet after big rains, with flat sandy land all around. The old people
used to camp here a lot when that river had water in it. Good bush tucker with the rain. We used to come up here when we
had time off from work at Nicholson (Cattle Station where Jock was Head Stockman). Rough tracks through the mountains
to get to it – no roads. The water doesn’t last too long on the flatlands, so never much grazing for the cattle – pretty dry
desert all around.
