This painting depicts designs associated with the salt lake site of Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). In ancestral times a large group of Tingari Men visited the sire on there travels towards the east. The men had previously visited the rickhole site of Winparku (Mt Webb) further south. The concentric square in this painting depicts the soakage water near Winparku, while the jagged lines represented the path of the Tingari men as they travelled towards Wilinkarra. This design is also consistent with those durning rain making ceremonies. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of ancestral beings of the dreaming who travelled over vast stretches of the country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites. The Tingari men were usually followed by Tngari women and were accompanied by novices, and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of songs cycles. These ancestral stories from part of the teachings of the post initiatory youth today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.
