Texas Country
Charlene CARRINGTON: artist
Texas Downs Station is Charlene's and her family's traditional country and it is where her parents were born. Her father,
Churchill Cann, mustered cattle all throughout this country. This painting is essentially a map of Texas.
It is a very beautiful place with many waterholes, fishing holes and hilly areas.
There is an abundance of bush tucker, gerring (kangaroo), echidna and goanna are all found in this country.
