On my way from Sydney to Adelaide, going along a back route, I often stop by the Pink Salt Lakes in Murray Sunset National Park to walk about and draw. This place is Aboriginal land that includes the traditional Country of the Latji Latji, Ngintait and Nyeri Nyeri Peoples. At one time there were salt mines here, horses had to wear special hoof coverings because the salt would trouble their feet. However, when I am there drawing, it is a much more ancient culture that seems to hum in the play between colour and light.
