This is a painting of the egg that the Goorlabal laid. Goorlabal is the big rainbow snake that travelled to my Darrajayin Country looking for water.
The shape in the middle is the place where the Goorlabal came out of the ground looking for water and the orange circle next to it, is the egg she laid when she got there.
On the left hand side you can see that Springvale River and on the right hand side at the bottom is that Nyawawooroon place where they buried my grandfather.
