Being all inspired by our Broken Hill visits to the galleries of Australian artists, Pro Hart and Jack Absalom and the few aboriginal etchings we found near the Flinders Ranges (South Australia) Amelia began her own artistic career with the natural mediums found nearby.
Here's Amelia using the ocre paint her Daddy had made from crushed ocre
stones mixed with water. She started off finger painting rocks, but quickly
turned professional with various works containing aboriginal motifs. Check out
the emu footprints, kangaroo footprints and waterholes.

We had tried to see the site of these actual engravings but were unable to do so due to an abundance of bush bees along the gully.
