Boab Tree

"The Boab tree holds a special place in my heart. You can’t find it anywhere else in Australia — it’s unique to the Kimberley, just like our way of celebrating. I see the Boab as a symbol of enduring strength, like a Blak matriarch — deeply rooted, weathering every season, and still standing proud." Molly

A single public word for “summer” is not widely released, as many Kimberley language groups’ seasonal words are protected or community-held. But Balanggarra Country recognises a season of intense heat, blooming life, and monsoon preparation — often described through concepts rather than a single word, such as:“The Time of Growing Heat”

Molly's Summertime

My family loves to take advantage of the Wet Season; it’s when Country feels most alive. We didn’t grow up with gifts under a tree, but with fish on the line, laughter by the river, and the biggest bush picnics at the Pentecost River. Those memories — fishing, hunting, swimming — that’s what Christmas means to me.

Art living in country

The Kimberley is home to one of the world’s oldest known examples of rock art — the Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) paintings, which are estimated to be up to 12,000 years old. These incredibly detailed figures show elegant human forms, tassels, headdresses and movement, and are unique to the region. Many elders say the art is a living part of Country, not just history on a wall.

Deadly

MOLLY’S most recent work, ‘This Book Thinks Ya Deadly’. Her debut illustrated book with Deadly Science Founder Corey Tutt. Is found all over Australia, has been named one of Australia’s top read children’s books for 2023.

Inspiring a generation

Through her work, MOLLY opens a dialogue about the power of Blak women in communities, and how they are viewed as the backbone of communities. She aims to have meaningful conversations about how we need to shower love on our Blak women.
