STORY: This painting represents Ballingee and his dreaming
The 2 red circles (top and bottom) indicates 2 tribes
The circle in the centre of the 2 red circles represent Ballingee's spirit and how it is considered sacred
The brown and orange dots (on the left and right running from top to bottom) represent ceremonial markings
The smaller dots orange, black and brown indicates ballingee's journey through the sacred country of the 2 tribes
The 2 circles that look like eyes, shows Ballingee is all-seeing
Ballingee is sacred and would never be used as a source of food or adornment by either of the 2 tribes
These 2 tribes are the keepers of Ballingee's spirit which is honoured through sacred ceremony
The many dots black, red and brown represent Ballingee's frilled neck
The various other dots represent tribal people (men, women, children) and their journey through their respective country to attend ceremony
To inherit Ballingee's spirit is to be blessed with his speed
