This painting depicts the kapi tjukula (water holes), murpu and apu (mountains and rocks), tali (sand hills) and punu (trees) that surround Ngayuku community, Mimili. Mimili has many ancestral songlines that criss-cross this land. A really important place to Anangu from Mimili is Antara, a ceremonial ground on top of a hill. This is where they would perform inma (song and dance) to create mai, food, enough maku (witchetty grub) for everyone.
