This watercolour painting was created c.1981/83 by the artist. It depicts part of the MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia.
The East and West MacDonnell Ranges stretch out for hundreds of kilometres on both sides of Alice Springs. The traditional owners, the Arrernte people, believe giant caterpillars called the Yeperenye became the Ranges - they entered this world through one of the dramatic gaps in the escarpments of the area.
