Work Overview
This song is treated as a legendary spirit, sometimes forceful, other times mystic in colour, then growing in magnitude and intensity as it fights its way in a wind-strewn land, at times descending to earth to pluck for food. Finally it is enveloped in its own brave song, rising growing, rising again and again in the vast area known as Arnhem Land.
— Mirrie Hill
