Alpha is currently carrying out Archaeology work in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and often find ourselves passing through the town of Roebourne. Recently we stopped into local Yinjaa-Barni art gallery at “Dalgetty House” in Roebourne and purchased two beautiful pieces that we are proudly showing in our Melbourne Office (please see picture’s on right)
The Dalgetty house consists of a group of talented artists who predominantly belong to the Yindjibarndi language group and whose ancestral homelands are around the Millstream Tablelands in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Dalgetty house is located in a heritage-listed cottage on the main street of Roebourne, a small town between Karratha and Port Hedland in Western Australia’s Pilbara region in the north-west of the state.
Top photo: Artwork shown with an Alpha Archaeology Representative Alexander Timms was created by artist Donna Willis. It is titled “River Soaks” which explains Waterholes left from the aftermath of flooding in the creeks. When no water is to be seen the waterholes show where to dig to get water required for camp life and billy tea.
Bottom photo: Artwork shown with an Alpha Archaeology Representative Megan Rowland is by artist Philip Munda and is titled "Warloo". This shows the tribe's fresh and salt water warloo (snake) fighting.
