Miriam has painted some of her Uncle's Wimmitji Tjapangar country called Yurna located near Jupiter Well. All of the sites shown in the painting are linked with events surrounding the Tjurrkupa (dreaming) that tells of the Tingarri beings who were travelling through and holding various ceremonies which helped form this area. Consequently, depicted in this painting are several water holes and various bushfoods, including tjurnta (bush onion).
