X and Ray witness the last ship carrying woodchips sinking off Australian shores - Lin Onus

This image was part of the series of works entitled "The Ongoing adventures of X and Ray'. This began in 1992 and like all good myths it has continued its adventures after Onus's death under the custodianship of his collaborator Michael Eather, and into the next generation with Onus's son Tiriki.

This seminal work reveals both a kinship between these two travellers and the importance of the narrative and humour.

Ray is the female Stingray and X is the male dingo.
