This painting depicts designs
associated with the rockhole site of Yunala, west of the Kiwirrkura
Community. The lines through the work represent the sandhills surrounding
the site. A group of Tingari Men camped at this site gathering the
edible tubers, also known as yunala, from the bush banana vine Marsdenia
Australis. They later travelled north-west to Lake Mackay.
