"This painting is about my great grandmother, 'a very strong lady'. Clara was living on Burra Bee Dee mission. She was 12 when she was taken away from her family. She was taken to Cootamundra and stationed at Bourke. She worked from daylight to dark (an aunty thinks she worked on a large cattle station). She returned to Burra Bee Dee when she was 18. She had 8 children and was the best rabbit trapper and damper cook in the bush."
