“When I paint I feel like I’m in the Dreamtime and can see the
animals and birds that live there”.
Trevor “Turbo” Brown, it is said, would only paint animals because
when he was fifteen years old and homeless, living on the streets of Mildura
and on the banks of the Murray River, they were his only friends [statement
care of the Koorie Heritage Trust, Melbourne].
