Ernabella Mural Project
Ernabella is a remote Anangu community about 250 kms south of Uluru in central Australia.

When I visited in '02, the principal at the local school asked me to paint a mural on one of the school's water tanks.

That gave me a great excuse to return to central Australia, and in July '03 I spent 3 weeks painting the mural with the help of some of the students.

I had a wonderful time, even if my paint froze on the brush one morning!

The b&w design is the school's logo, surrounded by traditional floral "walka" paterns, which are specific to the region.
