Goanna Hunting

Angelo Burgoyne paints under the name ‘Judda’.

The background has been shaded in the orange and pink of the desert sand, under a setting sun. He shows places where four hunters had sat at camp with their spears waiting to catch a goanna as it makes its way down to drink at the waterhole. The tribes followed its tracks in the soft desert sand. The kangaroo, wallaby, lizards and snakes make very welcome meals for the aboriginal people.
