Gija painter Jimmy McKenzie is the son of the famous artist Queenie McKenzie - one of the founders of the Warmun school of Kimberley ochre painting. This painting depicts the beehive shaped hills of the Bungle Bungle massif on Texas Downs Station. Jimmy was born near Purnululu and spent all his early life growing up and working the stock camps with his mother Queenie McKenzie on and around this country. Purnululu has become a significant tourist attraction and many thousands of visitors arrive each dry season to fly over, camp and walk the creeks and ravines of the Bungle Bungle Range.
