Irriya

At the rockholes of Irriya, two men were sitting down tellling stories. They were having a close look at the rockhole there. They went back to tell the others, who were at Karku, about this place and what they had seen there. The design highlights the colourful bushland after the rains, with the wildflowers and the many sandhills that are a dominant feature of the landscape.
