Kathleen has painted some country south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. The country depicted here is named Nakarra Nakarra. This is the site of the Seven Sisters Dreaming, a story about seven sisters who travelled this country during Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) running from an old man who wanted to marry the youngest sister. Today at Nakarrra Nakarra a group of hills embody the seven sisters. This painting represents the hills and the tali (sandhills) found in this country.
