Chainstitch Rug/Tapestry (Small) - Cedric Varcoe - My Ngarrindjeri Country

Chainstitch Rug/Tapestry (Small) - Cedric Varcoe - Nganauwe Ngarrindjeri Peggeralin (My Ngarrindjeri Country).

When Ngurunderi travelled through what is now Ngarrindjeri country he came down the Murray River in his canoe. At that time it was just a small stream. Ngurunderi was looking for his two wives who had run away from him and was following Pondi, the big Murray Cod who had created the twists and turns of the river when sweeping his huge tail from side to side. Ngurunderi was trying to spear Pondi all the way along the journey. Together they formed the Murray River, lakes and landforms and everything in Ngarrindjeri Country. Ngurunderi made the rain that feeds the river and the country.
