Product Description
Cotton Keringke Beach Shoulder Tote Bag in Brown by Bridgette Wallace
Beach Tote Bag: 100% cotton beach bag depicting Keringke Arts design from Central Australia.
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.
