Description
At the beginning of time Garrtajambal, the Kangaroo Ancestral Spirit, shaped the land around Ramingining, particularly Marrngu, the artist’s country situated on the upper Glyde River. He also controlled the movement of the Sun and the Moon. He came from the east, crossing the Glyde river and came to an area south east of Ramingining. Garrtjambal followed the path of the Wagilag sisters. Everytime he stopped he was chased by wild dogs and, after following the creek he jumped to Ramingining where he left his tail, Yanara, and traveled North. The ceremonial aspect is also depicted in this print where Margululu has uniquely modified his traditional design.
