This is Cindy Rostron. Her father Victor Rostron's art is on the roof, and we're out around Bulman during a few months in Central Arnhem Land, and this particular day, we were on the last day of a four-day walk called a wulgan. We had just packed up camp. We were out documenting language and did a cultural walk through Country, and we're just about to head back to the Mimal Ranger base.
