Description
'This country is considered to be highly dangerous – Paddy’s mother, father and brother all died in this place – and nobody visits the area. At the top left and right of the painting are hils at the bottm of which lies waterholes. A river (indicated by the black ochre) runs through the rtemote country which cannot be accessed by the road (the road stops short of this place and is represented by the vertical red strip).'
As appears in the catalogue Paddy Bedford: My Country, the first solo exhibition of the artist presented by William Mora Galleries held at Flinders Lane, Melbourne in 1998.
