Eubena has painted some of her country south-west of Balgo along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route. The majority of the painting shows the talis (Sandhills) that dominate this country. The circular shape is a tjurrnu (soakwater) named Midjul. This is a country where Kinyu the spirit dog lives. Eubena would often cover Midjul with leaves to Kinyu woudn't come out and would also leave gifts of goanna for Kinyu.
