In this powerful woodblock print, Aboriginal artist Terry Platt envisions a traditional story. From the water rears a figure looking up at a snake. Beams of sunlight erupt in the background, evoking the dawning of a new day.

From Cairns, Queensland, and the traditional country of Kuuku Yau/Lama Lama, Platt is a respected artist. ‘Home Land, Lockhart River’ is a striking find for collectors of Aboriginal prints.
