Mantuwa George often paints the country of her mother, south of Watarru. This is Mamungarinya .
The place Mamungarinya is a long way away. It is over the other side of the sand dunes past Tipilnga.
The place where many white trees are growing,
many white marble gums. The place where women came turned into the white marble gums on the sand dune south of Watarru;
this is a tjukurpa story. So this is Mamungarinya where lots of little gum saplings and emu bush grow. This is a place of clay pans.
This is a women's site south west of Watarru.
Mantuwa was born at Shirley Well, near Fregon, where her parents worked on the cattle station which was part of Ernabella Mission. This is a small, remote aboriginal community located in the centre of Australia in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara/
Yankunytjatjara Lands, far North West of South Australia. She has a daughter, a son and grandson. At this place where many marble gums grow and there are many sand dunes. And lying here amongst the white marble gums is a large pool of
beautiful fresh water. Like a clay pan after the rain, the deep hole is filled with healing water after the rain "'The place Mamungari
