Nora has depicted some of her traditional country, called Kunawarritji (Well 33), far to the south west of Balgo along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route. The central circle represents a rockhole called Liburu. The painting tells the story of two snakes who were living in these holes, and about their journey as they travel around the talis, or sandhills, in this region. Also depicted by the use of lines are the trees where they grew up.
