About the Item

Phyllis Thomas was born in Riyarr on the Turner River, south east of Purnululu. When she was young, she worked on Turner Station looking after poultry, gardening, grinding salt and carting water from the well. However, she often preferred to go into the bush with the old women to hunt, collect dingo scalps and look for gold. Thomas is a Gija woman of Nagarra skin whose bush name, Booljoonngali, means 'big rain coming down with lots of wind'. Thomas began painting when Freddie Timms set up the Jirrawun Aboriginal Arts group in 1998. Her work achieved almost immediate success, depicting Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) places and bush tucker from Roogoon (Crocodile Hole) area as well as Country around the middle reaches of the Ord and Turner Rivers where she was born.
