New to the collection: Army Painting (Warramunga:

New to the collection: Army Painting (Warramunga: Courage in difficulties). Lindy 'Nungarrayi' Brodie (Alyawarr/Kaytetye/Waramungu) completed this work in 2019 after researching the story of the tribal-class destroyer HMAS Warramunga that was named after the Waramungu, her affiliation. The ship's badge shows an Aboriginal man throwing a boomerang and Brodie has reinterpreted this figure to show the presence of Indigenous soldiers in the battlefield.
"They travelled around all over the world everywhere...Long time, they have been fighting for us..." (Lindy Brodie, 2019).
The naming of the HMAS Warramunga and the ship's motto "Courage in Difficulties" pays tribute to the resilience of the Waramungu peoples, having experienced Frontier Wars during the 1900s, along with the harsh environmental conditions of the Central Desert.
Brodie was born in 1973 and grew up in Alroy Downs north-east of Tennant Creek. Brodie started her career as an artist in 2003 and has been with Tartukula Artists as part of Barkly Regional Arts since 2012. Her paintings often revisit the story of her family during the 1940s, and have been exhibited both nationally and internationally.

Last year, Lindy Brodie from barklyregionalarts, painted an original story about military manoeuvres near Alroy Downs, her childhood place, for the Gallipoli Art Prize 2018 (for which she was selected as a finalist).⁠
⁠
For this painting, she undertook a great deal of research, and rediscovered the story of the 1942 destroyer – HMAS Warramunga – whose motto was “Courage in Difficulties”.⁠
This related closely to the Waramungu, her affiliation. The boat was launched during World War II.⁠
