The artist describes the content of the painting as being on the Western side of Bow River Station (Bedford Downs way where the artist was born). “The Bow” as it is fondly known, is a million acre cattle station in the East Kimberley in the Turkey Creek area. Bow River Station is Aboriginal owned by the Timms family. The artist was a stockman in the area for many years and has intimate knowledge of the country. He worked as a stockman and also did mustering on many of the cattle stations, Bow River being one. Freddie says the Bow River (shown here to the South) has water all year round, and the flatlands painted in grey with waterholes featured was good grazing land on the Station. Beefwood Yard was used for “fat cattle”, the last stage of the initial mustering process prior to the cattle actually being sold. The cattle were brought down from the rugged country running through the centre of the station and held in this large area awaiting the buyers to arrive. Then the final mustering began at the start of the Dry. The work is painted featuring the colours of the country after the Wet and is indicative of the artist’s distinctive spatial painting style.
