ID: 046114

Size: 74 x 49 cm
Artist: Peter Taylor Tjutjatja
Glen Helen is called by the Aboriginal traditional owners, the Arrernte people as Yalalpe 
It is said long time ago in the Dreamtime there lived in a waterhole of Yapalpe a rainbow serpent. The Aboriginal people did not camp close to waters edge, as the serpent might take them and drown them. This waterhole is a sacred place, as the serpent might still be lying there (The Rainbow Serpent story).
Yapalpe was also a favourite place of Albert Namatjira and depicted the landscape in this work.
