This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Wirrulngya,
east of the Kiwirrkura Community. A large group of women travelled to
this site from Marrapinti further west. While in the area the women gathered
the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisin (Solanum centrale).
The women then continued their travels north-east to Lake Mackay.
