Helicopter has painted some of his country located far to the south of Balgo. This is the country where Helicopter was born and where he spent his formative years. The central circle of the painting is a tjurrnu (soakwater) named Wangkartu. The majority of the painting depicts the tali (sandhills) that dominate this country. This painting was created during the Canning Stock Route project.
