The brothers that ran the cattle station, Jimmy and Billy Weaber killed a large number of the local Indigenous population including women and children. These stories have been passed down from the survivors to generations of Miriwoong people and it's deeply offensive that we have a road named after the Weaber brothers here in Kununurra. The name should be changed.\"\u003ch2\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural ochre and pigment on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 80 x 100cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat No. 6282-22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eARTIST\u003c\/h2\u003eBen Ward – Galmirr’s painting practice focuses on his unique perspective of seeing and being with Country. His images depict his cultural knowledge and memories of the Country he explored as a young man mustering cattle. He employs triangular designs of juxtaposed coloured ochre depicting the waterways, mountain ranges and the sacred sites of his Country while also commenting on cultural and environmental concerns that are close to his heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eART CENTRE\u003c\/h2\u003eWaringarri is the first wholly indigenous owned art centre established in Western Australia and one of the oldest continuously operating art centres in Australia supporting economic independence for artists and their community.
