About
Art Centre documentation for this work states:
"Tracker is the name I gave this dingo because he is always tracking down his dinner out in the scrub. Sometimes he follows wild pig tracks, sometimes he follows wallaby or goanna tracks. Tracker can be seen hunting out at Knox River with his family. You can also see him at a place called Ayke along the Kirk River. From there, he tracks all the way past the sandy ridge at Warpung." -
