GRASS TREES - GEARY'S GAP
Multi-colour screenprint 2008
AP only, 76 x 56cm, $600 (unframed)
Geary’s Gap looks over Lake George in the western range, with the grass trees clustered above the Gap. The Aborigines called the Lake Weereewa, and its water once flowed across the range at Geary’s Gap into the Yass River. The grass trees were there then and are still there now, but the lake bed is dry with only fossil sandbars and gravel beaches left to tell of the waves that broke along the old lake shore.
