This painting is from Tommy's mother's and uncle Tjunka Lewis's country. Tommy Mitchell says this painting is about Tjunka's country and a special place called Wakalpuka, a rockhole at the base of Wakalpuka. It's a story about the Patarrtja (native quoll, sometimes referred to as a native cat). This animal was travelling around. You can not find the Patjarrtja anymore, they have become extinct from this region. Too many wild feral cats.' © Tommy Mitchell/Copyright Agency 2025 This work is located in our Melbourne Gallery
