Artist story:
Amanda Rose Lee is a Yawuru woman based in Broome. This design shows the gurlibil (sea turtle) tracks and the turtle jimbu (eggs). At night time during Mangala Season (around December-March), female turtles make the long journey from the ocean up into the sand dunes of Cable Beach to do their best to safely lay their eggs. Amanda Rose has captured the beautiful patterns that the turtles leave in the sand as they move up the beach. Cable Beach is a Yawuru Dreaming place for the sea turtle.
*Please note that the pattern placement will vary slightly on each garment.
