My country, I still call Australia home: Contemporary art from Black Australia

This land is mine All the way to the old fence line Every break of day I’m working hard just to make it pay This land is mine Yeah I signed on the dotted line Campfires on the creek bed Bank breathing down my neck They won’t take it away They won’t take it away They won’t take it away from me This land is me Rock, water, animal, tree They are my song My being’s here where I belong This land owns me From generations past to infinity We’re all but woman and man You only fear what you don’t understand They won’t take it away They won’t take it away They won’t take it away from me 1 Bruce M c Lean This land is mine/ This land is me Vincent Serico Wakka Wakka/Kabi Kabi peoples QLD Carnarvon collision (Big map) (detail) 2006 Synthetic polymer paint on linen Purchased 2007.
