He did, however, create paintings about Yalangbara for the 1999–2000 "Saltwater" touring exhibition mounted by the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre, later acquired by the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.
His work is also held in the National Gallery of Australia and the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin, and the University of Virginia's Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection in Charlottesville.
