In Noongar culture, the karda — the goanna — is a powerful ancestral being, respected for its resilience, deep awareness of Country, and ability to survive even the harshest conditions. Its movements, tracks, and behaviours hold knowledge passed down through generations, guiding Noongar people in understanding the land, its rhythms, and its resources.

For Christine Winmar, the Goanna Dreaming holds a strong connection to her heritage and the teachings she received from her Elders. Born in Midland in 1965, Christine — whose skin name Allawah means “Stay here” — learned to paint under the guidance of her father, a respected Noongar artist and didgeridoo craftsman. His teachings shaped her artistic foundation, instilling in her a deep respect for culture, technique, and the stories that flow through Noongar Country.

Christine’s life journey, from her early years in the Wheatbelt to her time living in the Kimberley and Northern Territory, expanded her artistic language. She blends traditional Noongar motifs with techniques learned from other Aboriginal communities, creating vibrant, detailed works rich in symbolism and movement.

In Goanna Dreaming, Christine honours the karda as a spiritual guardian and teacher. The goanna is seen as a totem of strength and adaptability — a being that navigates both the surface of the land and the hidden world beneath it. Its tracks are read like a map, offering insight into hunting, water sources, and the changing seasons. Across many Aboriginal nations, the goanna is also revered as an ancestor or creator spirit, embodying the cycle of life and the ongoing relationship between people and Country.

Christine’s artwork captures this spirit with flowing lines, textured dots, and earthy tones that mirror the patterns of the land. Her depiction of the karda celebrates its role as a protector, a provider, and a keeper of ancient knowledge.

Through Goanna Dreaming, Christine brings forward a story of strength, cultural continuity, and the powerful presence of the ancestral beings who walk alongside Noongar people.

GREAT TOYS FOR BIRDING DOGS.
Color: Blue&Purple&Orange
I would purchase these again!! These have lasted for the past four years with four dogs. My dogs love carrying these around and tossing them into the air. I have Vizslas, they are not heavy chewers, but love carrying toys in their mouths.

Worthless Dog Toy
Color: Blue
Buyer beware! This item is worthless - if I could rate it -5*, I would. It was delivered this morning and was destroyed literally within 10 minutes. The squeaker was punctured and two of the crinkle legs were stripped by my Shichon.

Fun for a few minutes but beware!
Color: Blue&Purple&Orange, Color: Blue&Purple&Orange
I have 3 dogs so looking for multipacks of the same style toy is great so there is less squabbling between who gets what toy. I have a border collie puppy, a 4 yr old Irish wolfhound cross and a 17 yr old border collie. These toys were loved by each one of my dogs. The toys are floppy and easy to squeak in the octopus head. So much so that my elderly boy could happily play and make it squeak. He even collected the toys up and took them to his bed! My puppy ran off bounding through the house squeaking the octopus' head with the tentacle-legs flying everywhere as she ran around, so the entertainment value is pretty high! My Irish wolfhound loved the crinkling on the tentacles of the octopus and went straight for tearing into the orange toy pulling out the plastic, then pulling out the squeaker. The toy did ok with a game of tuggy (tug-o-war) with him and this toy would have been a great reward during a training session. The fabric is not very tough so this is not a toy for aggressive chewers. Legs were easily chewed off and unfortunately were ingested by one of my dogs which caused them to vomit repeatedly throughout the night. Same with the squeaker, they are thin, soft plastic. So if your dog is a voracious chewer, give these a miss. What I liked about these toys: 1. They were reasonably priced for 3 toys 2. These are not small toys! They are great for medium and large dogs. 3. Very fun for the dogs to play with. 4. No stuffing to clean up What I didn't like: 1. Toys are not durable for tough tuggers. 2. The toys are not reinforced for chewing. 3. Squeaker not strong enough. The toys just didn't last. There was maybe 15 minutes of play time at most before the chewing and destruction of the toys really got started. I might buy these again if I can give my puppy better supervision for her chewing these and trying to stop her from ingesting the pieces she is chewing off put I probably won't buy them again. There's too much plastic that can be eaten with the crinkly plastic in the legs.
