Lennard has depicted country associated with the Minyma Tjuta Tjukurpa (Seven Sisters Creation Line). This is a narrative of epic proportions which follows the journey of a group of young women as they traverse the country whilst evading the lustful pursuit of the amorous Nyiru, a metamorphic shape shifter who wants to take the eldest sister as his wife. These are creation beings who shape the landscape as they move through it, leaving indelible reminders of their power and presence in a culturally mapped environment. Here Lennard talks of the significant sites the sisters visited on their journey. Kuru Ala, Tjukultjara, Muti Muti , Palka Palka, Kulyuru, Nyuman rockhole and Tjin lara.
