This painting relates to the flood story that belongs to our people. When Dumbi (owl) was mocked and made fun of by the children of the tribe, he went and told the Wandjinas what happened. The Wandjina sent the tata lizard to seek the people out. When he found them, he waved to the Wandjinas to show them where the people were camped. Then the Wandjina sent a big rain to drown all the people. He told the brolgas to dance to make the ground so just like quicksand. When the people ran they fell into the quicksand and got swallowed up.
