This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Ngaminya, just to the south-west of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia. A group of ancestral women made camp at this site before travelling to the rockhole site of Wirrunga, east of the Kiwirrkura Community. The straight lines towards the centre of the work are spun hair-string which is used to make nyimparra (hair-string skirts) which are worn during the ceremonies associated with the area. The other lines are the sandhills surrounding the area.
