“Doon Doon Station is one of the roughest in the East Kimberley – A high mountain range runs right through the middle of it. There are the biggest caves (Nowann's) in lots of the hills – I have painted a really big one just above Pelican Point – when you look in you can't see the end of it. I've walked in long way and still have never seen the end of it. The rock wallabies live in these mountains – you can see them at day time, but at night time they go into the caves [...] The Goolarbool snake is said to have made these caves – long time ago.”¹
