COLOURFUL SERPENT RESTS<br />

ENDANGERED PANDA GRAZES<br />

The Serpent curls up in its<br />

lake bed. The lake bed was<br />

created when two great<br />

serpents had a fight. It is the<br />

place where the artist was<br />

born.<br />

The Serpent is an ancestral<br />

creator spirit and brings<br />

important rains to the dry<br />

Australian desert.<br />

Why do you think the artist<br />

surrounded the Serpent<br />

with plants and flowers?<br />

Draw a picture <strong>of</strong> the rainy season, with<br />

the plants and animals enjoying the rain.<br />

Did You know?<br />

Serpents are sometimes<br />

known as the rainbow<br />

snake.<br />

How many brush strokes paint<br />
