Freddie Purla has vivid childhood memories of the strange looking creature, the scorpion. ‘Scorpion Dreaming’ was passed down to Freddie by his grandmother’s family. As the scorpion’s sting is very painful, the scorpion is left undisturbed and respected at all times. It is rarely seen during the day and only the desert sands display signs of the scorpion’s tracks. Learn more here.
