Lucy has depicted some of her country south of Balgo, along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route. This country here is called Yirangarri after the prominent warniri (rockhole) depicted in the centre of this painting. This warniri is an inta or living water and always has a reliable source of water. The many parallel lines represent the tali (sandhills) that dominate this country and the dotting depicts the abundance of mungari (bush tucker) in the country.
