Yondee Shane Hansen is a distinguished Noongar artist, born in 1964 in Dumbleyung, located 270 kilometres south of Perth in the southwestern region of Western Australia. He acquired foundational knowledge from his father, who taught him about hunting and the creation of sand drawings. Additionally, visits to his aunties along the Swan River provided him with opportunities to collect paper bark, which supported their artistic endeavours. These early experiences formed the basis of his artistic education, as older relatives, celebrated for their paper bark paintings, served as his initial instructors.

In reference to his contemporary artistic practice, Yondee Shane Hansen stated, "I create sand paintings by collecting sand from the creeks. After being meticulously washed to remove salt, the sand exhibits a smoother texture. Following multiple washes and sieving, it becomes suitable for artistic application when mixed with paint. My paintings' combination of black and white sand conveys a simple yet powerful message."

As a seasoned artist, Yondee Shane Hansen has refined techniques to utilize sand and ochres to depict the narratives and legends of his people. In addition to these traditional representations, he produces detailed figurative works that address themes such as mission life, hunting, and animals. Despite their abstract nature, his works retain a narrative essence. Yondee has drawn upon the knowledge of ground paintings imparted by his grandfather during his childhood and aspires to preserve and elevate these art forms. He holds that translating these concepts into sand paintings not only honours their origins but also extends their reach to new audiences. His bush name, Yondee, translates to Black Goanna.

Furthermore, Yondee Shane Hansen has collaborated with the Campfire group of Aboriginal artists in Brisbane and has exhibited his artwork in various galleries across Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, and internationally in countries such as the United States, Czech Republic, and Ireland.

About the Painting

Recent works by Whadjuk Ballardong artist Yondee Shane Hansen are focused on traditional songlines and walking paths associated with the Derbarl Yerrigan, commonly known as the Swan River, situated on the coastal plains surrounding Perth. His paintings depict the interconnected locations of the Swan River and the substantial coastal lakes, extending from Joondalup and urban Perth to the Beeliar Wetlands.

The rivers within the Perth region are intricately woven into the Dreaming narratives of the local Noongar Aboriginal community. Mr. Hansen articulates that the river serves as a vital connection between the freshwater inhabitants of the inland and the saltwater communities along the coast. The Dingo Dreaming track integrates these groups and adheres to the river's natural contours. The Wargyl, a water spirit significant to this Country, is referenced in Mr. Hansen's assertion of "swimming with the Wargyl" along the river’s course. Additionally, community Elders have indicated that this area is associated with the freshwater turtle, which holds traditional medicinal importance.

It should be noted that the term Derbarl Yerrigan does not directly translate as Swan River; the river is referred to as Narlak (Swan) Beeliar (River). Instead, Derbarl Yerrigan is often interpreted to signify freshwater or brackish water Turtle Dreaming along the river. Mr. Hansen's artwork further includes representations of Gnamma holes, where Aboriginal peoples historically harvested water runoff from rock surfaces, collecting it in small wells that were subsequently covered and safeguarded.

I'm going back to Sparkle
Package Size Name: Triple, Size: 3 Triple Rolls (Pack of 1)
I used to buy Sparkle years ago , it was the only brand I bought, but I stopped because they were lower quality than names like Bounty. Recently, before payday I ran out of paper towels and bought this pack before payday so I didn't have to shell out $25 for paper towels. Sparkle i can honestly say has improved immensely in quality, yet still staying reasonably priced. I noticed as soon as I opened one roll it was better quality. They are stronger, much stronger than they used to be. No loose lint like they used to have. They are a bit stiffer in feel compared to Bounty, but still feel soft. Cleaning is the real test for me. The old Sparkle shredded apart as soon as I wet the towel to clean. The new Sparkle is amazing. Gotta say I like it better than Bounty. I used it to clean the bathroom and the towels held up extremely well with being water soaked, used to scrub (friction & pulling). They don't feel thick which i like. Reusable? I'd dunk the towel in water, scrub then rinse the towel and wipe and it held up . Sparkle has improved and won me over!

Great value.
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 6 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
Excellent value for the money. They are not the most thick or soft. But they are better than some. It’s a good middle of the road towel. A very durable paper towel for various odd and end cleanups.

House staple
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 6 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
These Sparkle Pick-A-Size Paper Towels are a great everyday household staple. I really like the pick-a-size option because it helps reduce waste when you only need a small sheet for quick cleanups. The towels are absorbent, durable, and strong enough for kitchen messes, spills, counters, and general household cleaning without falling apart easily. They also tear cleanly and fit standard paper towel holders well. The rolls lasted longer than expected thanks to the smaller sheet option. Overall, a dependable and budget-friendly paper towel choice to keep stocked at home.

Decent Quality, Will Buy Again
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 6 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
I recently picked up the Sparkle Pick-A-Size Paper Towels (6 pack) and overall I’m pretty happy with them. The pick-a-size feature is really convenient because you can tear off a smaller sheet for quick spills instead of wasting a full one. For everyday kitchen messes—wiping counters, small spills, or drying hands—they work perfectly well. They’re also reasonably absorbent and the rolls seem to last a decent amount of time, especially when using the smaller sheet sizes. For the price, it feels like a good value compared to some of the more expensive brands. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they’re not quite as thick or strong as the premium paper towels out there. For bigger or really messy cleanups, I sometimes end up using two sheets. Overall though, these are a solid everyday paper towel that get the job done and help reduce waste with the pick-a-size option. I’d definitely buy them again.

Really impressed with the quality and absorption
Package Size Name: Double, Size: 12 Double Rolls (Pack of 1), Package Size Name: Double, Size: 12 Double Rolls (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these Sparkle paper towels for a few days now, mostly in my kitchen, and I’m honestly impressed. The absorption is great, it handles spills like coffee or oil without needing a bunch of sheets. I also love the “tear-a-square” feature because you can use just what you need and avoid waste. They’re pretty strong too, don’t fall apart easily while cleaning, which makes a big difference for tougher messes. So far, totally worth it and I would definitely buy again.
