Artwork Story
"Dirrarn or Black Cockatoos can be found all around the East Kimberley, especially near waterholes, springs and old bore holes in the rocky landscape near Halls Creek where I grew up. They love chewing the tops off dry grasses and the smaller branches of gum trees. They are beautiful birds, but they also make the biggest mess, chewing everything!"
— Rowena Morgan
