This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Yunala, just to the west of the Kiwirrkura Community. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men came to this site from the west. After camping for some time they continued east to Kiwirrkura and then north-east to Pinari.

Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given.

Bobby is the son of Freddy West Tjakamarra,one of the original shareholders of Papunya Tula Artists. He was born at the rockhole site of Tjamu Tjami, which is east of Kiwirrkura. He commenced painting for Papunya Tula Artists in the late
1980s.
