This painting depicts a Tingari story at Tjimmalnga, a rockhole site near a
large hill, north of Kiwirrkura Community. In mythological times a large group
of Tingari Men camped at this site during their travels to Lake Mackay. Since
events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further
detail is given.
