Nyangatja kapi pulka ini Nyultunya ka Wanampiku ngura ka kapi kutjupa Nyangunya kulu Wakara kulu Yawul ka nyanga walka kutjupa punu tjuta wata tjuta ka wanampi ankupai.
This painting is showing the main rockhole called Nyultunya, it is a large rockhole and a Water Serpent resides there. The other rockholes of significance shown here are Nyangunya, Wakara and Yawul. You can also see the tree roots where the Water Serpent travels.
Ned is a senior Spinifex man and has painted country where he grew up although the specific details of cultural material within is miil-miilpa (dangerously sacred) and cannot be spoken about in any detail. Ned specifically mentions the Wanampi (Water Snakes) which although dangerous can be placated by the owners of the area through specific ritual and custom.
