This painting represent my ancestral connection through my grandmother which we inherited. This place has been my family's traditional homeland for many, many generations. When the Pastoral came they claimed this land as part of the Tableland Station Pastoral Lease and my surviving family were forced off the land in the 1970s. In about 1995, when i visited Bulgundi for the first time, I felt a strong spiritual connection of belonging and i decided i would fight to reclaim the land.

'Over the next 15years I fought to have Bulgundi. We were success in claiming the land and Bulgundi now belongs to me and my family again. This land is at the centre of Gija land, and is the highest point in the Kimberley Ranges. It is a water catchment area and where much the water that flows in to the Kimberley begins its journey. It is where the King Leopold Range and the Fitzroy River start. TO ME, BULGUNDI IS WHERE LIFE BEGINS.' - Lindsay Malay
