This is Kuru Ala a sacred place for the Kungkarrakalpa (Seven sisters' story). We learned this story from my grandmother Wingu Tingima. There are lots of waterholes in this country and the sisters are travelling around gathering food. There is a dangerous man - Wati Nyiru, watching them. You can see the sisters hiding in their cave, and the one man. All the sisters are dancing. They dance all night long in a special ceremony. The sisters have left their dancing tracks in the sand. These are the long lines and shapes. The small red and white shapes are sacred women's places.
