Arena Magazine 9

Helen Verran

Feb 1994

Abstract:

Wurran, black-legged crane, is painted on the outer, east-facing wall of the school building at Gangan in the homeland of the Dhalwangu clan. Its wings are outspread; its head atop the long neck is turned to one side. Many of the children who learn here are Wurran, or maybe this is their mother place. South-west from Yirrkala, it takes about half an hour in a light plane to get to Gangan.
