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 />
