“I painted these birds as they are connected to my history via growing up in North Queensland. I was always moved by their distinctive colouring and how they contrasted with the natural environment.
The Brolgas can be found at Tinaroo Dam and make pilgrimages to the Northern Territory, they have distinctive colouring and rousing bird calls” – Dean Reilly
