The Meet me at the Gate series features three drawings depicting Orotan Rock from different perspectives, located at Lilydale Station, 150 kilometres east of Burra. These works are dedicated to Colin Zanker, the Station Manager, who passed away on site during a goating operation. Colin introduced Denise to this rock during several excursions across the property while searching for goats to round up. His final words were, “Meet me at the gate”.

Photographic images of Manunda Creek in flood 2026, at Porcupine Well, (windmill) Pitcairn Station South Australia.
Manunda Creek, located in the Mid North of South Australia, experienced a significant flood in February 2026.
Pitcairn Station owners Ross and Gen Sawers, remarked, "Compared to all the typical 'bankers' in the Outback, this flood lasted over 12 hours straight, uprooting whole mature trees from their foundations in the creek, as if a team of graders had been through."
