This painting depicts a Water Dreaming site at Kalipinypa north-east of Kintore. This important Water Dreaming site is celebrated amongst the community where the Nakamarra, Tjakamarra, Napurrula and Tjupurrula people are the custodians of this significate site.

"The painting tells the story of the rain and hail making ceremony for the site of Kalipinypa. Ancestral forces are invoked to bring on a powerful storm with lightning, thunderclouds and rain. Sending a deluge to rejuvenate the earth, filling the rock holes, clay pans and creeks- creating new life and growth upon the land." -Papunya Tjupi Arts.
