Barbara Tjikatu, a traditional owner and senior elder, painted a series of dot paintings especially for the royal couple which tells a story about the Kuniya python woman and the Liru poisonous snake man collecting water and bush tucker.

The artwork is painted on paper made from the poo of the near-extinct rufous-hare-wallaby, or mala, a 30-centimetre animal that looks like a cross between a kangaroo and a rabbit.

Its largest captive population of 200 is bred at Uluru and kept safe from predators.

“You have to think creatively out here, because we’re in the bush”, said Sharon Davies, an employee at the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park who was speaking on behalf of the artists.

“I put glitter in it to make it more royal”, she added.
