Description
My painting ‘Morialta Falls Landscape’ was inspired by the beautiful landscape of Morialta Conservation Park.
As an artist, I am blessed with having many national parks within a short travelling distance from my home.
For more than 100 years, Morialta Conservation Park has been a well-loved recreational escape, offering creeks, woodlands, gorges, and stunning waterfalls..
The area is part of the traditional lands of the Kaurna (‘Gar-na) people. They used the land for hunting and gathering and obtaining wood for fire and shelter during their seasonal relocation from the coast. One of the group’s most important tools was fire to aid hunting and encourage regrowth. Morialta gets its name from the Kaurna word ‘morialta’, meaning ‘ever-flowing’.
