COVER ARTWORK Artist – Frank Whap, Ampuru of Wagadhagam, 2011. Fibreglass and acrylic. This artwork was entered into the 2011 Gab Titui Indigenous Art Award and won the Best Craft Work category. Photo: George Serras, National Museum of Australia.

Frank Whap Date of Birth: Community: Language: Artwork Title: Medium:

1960 Soelal Clan of Wagadhagam, Mabuyag Kala Lagaw Ya Ampuru of Wagadhagam Fibreglass and acrylic

My story (artwork) is about a man named Ampuru of Wagadhagam, who went out spear fishing. He came across a very large pelican and he decided to catch this large bird as a pet for his only daughter. His attempt to catch the pelican was successful but to his surprise the pelican flew, carrying him up to the sky. The pelican flew around Mabuyag circling a couple of times around the Island. Ampuru saw that his plan to catch this bird had backfired upon him and decided to let go of the bird on a suitable area. Ampuru decided to let go as it approached the mud flats of Wagadhagam and he did and because of the mud he sank straight into it with only his head above the mud. His wife and daughter together with the people of Wagadhagam came out to his rescue. They started digging, but the more they dug the more he sank. As the tide started to come in, Ampuru made a request to the chief to cut his head off.

The 1,000 Litre Transportable Aquapax is a world-first, innovative and cost effective new way to supply bulk, micro-filtered drinking water to people and businesses in remote regions all over Australia and the world. The one-way, fully recyclable Transportable Aquapax water unit essentially comprises an octagonal-shaped outer cardboard box (for strength), which houses a uniquely designed inner-liner, triple-layer, barrier bag, which has been scientifically developed and engineered to ensure that the encapsulated water contained within is given maximum protection from all other potential external environmental contaminants which may otherwise cause the water to prematurely spoil and taint. Following our extensive laboratory testing and research, we have now proven that we can perfectly preserve premium quality drinking water for periods of up to two years in our all new Transportable Aquapax, without any detectable taint, bacteriological crosscontamination, odour or spoiling of taste.
