Dwayne Jessel paints in collaboration with his partner Josie Drill. Dwayne learnt to paint from his adopted father, the renowned Warmun artist Jack Britten. In this painting the artists have painted three areas in Purnululu (Bungle Bungles): the top of the paiting shows Calico Springs; the bottom left section depicts the Ord River (Jarlarloo) and the bottom right section represents the sirte of the Ngarrankarni (Dreaming) story of the Rock Cod and the Turtle. At this place in Purnululu the rock cod jumped through the hill leaving a big gap at the top of the hill.
