Noel Doyle, (1952- ), is a “murri” aborigine, who was born in Mount Isa, QLD, but has lived in the Cape York Penisula region since 15 years of age. "How the Rainbow, Moon and Stars Were created” jigsaw puzzle is a colourful and unique reflection of the traditional “storytelling” style of indigenous art.
This jigsaw puzzle original artwork was painted with natural ochre’s on bark, and are a reflection of the way the Dreamtime was an educational tool. Admittedly, like many dreamtime tales, it is the ancestor, in this case, Nagorku, (top right), who is a cheeky rascal and the main protagonist in this tale. He steals the barramundi caught by the tribe, and flees in-land, down the creeks and rivers. In the end, the barramundi cooks on the flames at Maragalidan Creek.
