Waang Dooragangu Nyaagiliyn - Looking South Towards North Brother Mountain

This painting offers a view looking south from Tacking Point Headland toward Dooragon (North Brother) Mountain.

The Three Brothers story of Biripi Barray (Biripi Country) narrates the tale of three brothers (Dooragan, Mooragan, and Booragan) who were transformed into mountains. In this artwork, Dooragan is represented as the tallest peak. The beach to the south is Lighthouse Beach, with the surrounding vegetation connecting to the Gatay (Lake Cathie) Plain.

The guparr (dolphin) image marked on the headland highlights the significance of this animal to the local Aboriginal community and points to my grandmother's Worimi country.
