"The Aboriginal people of the Western Desert lived in their homelands for thousands of years. In 1907 a track was created through the desert so that cattle could be moved from Kimberly stations to markets in the south. Running through a large part of Western Australia, this track, and the wells, that were created along its length, became known as the 'Canning Stock Route'. For people living is the Country around the stock route, life was never the same.
In 2007, a team guided by Aboriginal Custodians embarked on the 1850-kilometre journey along the track. On the way they were joined by 65 artists who painted and told stories of how the stock route had changed their lives. Central to this trip were four 'artists' bush camps' where artists painted and their stories were recorded. Many of the paintings are now on display in the National Museum of Australia's exhibition, Yiwarra Kuju:The Canning Stock Route.
This eventful trip was part of a project called Ngurra Kuju Walyja (One Country, One People) - The Canning Stock Route Project, run by the non-profit Western Australia cultural organisation FORM."

"Art workshops were also held with children in two communities along the Canning Stock Route. The paintings in this display are the product of children's art workshops held with Martumili's artists in Kunawarritji (Well 33) in 2008, and Birriliburu Artists, Tjukurba Gallery (Wiluna) in 2009. At the time, the ages of the artists ranged from 3 to 12 years old."
