This paintings depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Tjutalpi, east of the Kiwirrkura community. In ancestral times a group of men and women travelled to this site. While at Tjutalpi they performed the dances and songs associated with the area. During their travels the men and women gathered a variety of bush foods including pura or bush tomatoes (Solanum chippendalei) and kampurarrpa or desert raisins (Solanum centrale). They also gathered wood for the manufacture of wana (digging sticks). The roundels in the work represent the soakage waters found at this site.
