As a young girl, Liki travelled all around Punmu with her parents. Liki's sister brought her to Bidyadanga. Liki has painted the country near Punmu. The place depicted here is called Kiriwirri, which means Jila or living water place. This country is filled with Junta (bush food). There is a big warla (mud flat) and lots of tali (sand dunes). In wet season this warla floods.
