AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The route to Papunya from Alice Springs, via Glen Helen Gorge and the Western Macdonnell Ranges,, takes you through colour-saturated country fractured with geological upheavalsk sculpted by wind and water, scored and scoured by time. A crenellated horizontal strip of dark red dolomite, in places barely a metre thick, stalks along the foothills of the ranges like a horde of migrating stegosaurs. In the distance is the dark blue bulk of Mount Sonder: the Sleeping Woman likes prone and splayed, a vast fertility goddess with breasts and flanks cleft with indigo shadows.' (Introduction)
