Keeping the Wanjinas Fresh: Sam Woolagoodja and the Enduring Power of Lalai is the story of the people of the Wanjinas [Wandjinas] and their unbroken living cosmology of Lalai- the Dreaming- manifest most memorably in the dazzling giant Wanjina designed by Donny Woolagoodja for the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics. It is also the story of Sam Wollagoodja who was responsible for repainting the sacred wandjinas in many of the rock shelters that dot the Kimberley landscape and...to paint the sacred stories on bark and board for Worora children living far from their homelands.
