at the rockhole site of Lupulnga, south of the Kintore Community. There
are many long sand hills in this area that are depicted by the lines in
this painting. The roundel represents the rockhole at this site. Three
women travelled to the site to perform the ceremonies associates with
Lupulnga. They also made spun hair-string with which to make nyimparra
(hair-string skits) worn during these ceremonies. Upon completion of these
ceremonies they continued their travels north to Kintore.
