Product Description

Keringke Art is located at Santa Teresa 80km south east of Alice Springs.  Built in 1953, the Santa Teresa mission has a population of around 500 people.  In Arrernte, Keringke means, ‘kangaroo tracks’ as related to a Dreamtime story.  In the story, a giant red kangaroo came to pass through this country.  As he did so, he became caught in a yellow vine and could go no further.  With all the flies around, he began to throw dust over himself.  In doing this, he made a big hole and became a rock hole.  After kangaroo left his footprints in the rock which can still be seen today, the rock hole became Keringke.
