In a letter from the Atitjere Land Aboriginal Corporation Board of Directors they wrote:
“It (Alice Springs) is not our home – out here is our home. We grew up here, our families are here, and our children need to grow up here. Bush is better.
We need old people on country to pass on knowledge to our children, and grandchildren. Once we have dialysis, our people can be here- they can come back here. We can keep our culture strong.”
In a community meeting about dialysis, Peppi Drover came up with the phrase “Bush is More Better” and everyone agreed it was perfect and it has become the unofficial slogan for Atitjere Dialysis ever since.
After relocating from Atitjere in 2025 for health reasons, Danny began working within the supported studio program, Bindi Digital Art, at Bindi Enterprises. Since joining, he has embraced digital drawing with a watercolour‑Esque sensibility.
His style is playful and dynamic, and always speaks to the movement and energy of country living; Good Cowboys, Good Country Singers, the cars and trucks which travel and the Plenty Highway, and importantly the road which takes him back to Atitjere, from Mparntwe.
Danny’s cowboy character comes from his artwork Cowboy Story that was exhibited at the 2026 Salon des Refusés.
It is a proud collaboration between Bindi Enterprises and Purple House.
