"This painting depicts designs associated with the Two Kangaroo Dreaming at the site of Ngalutinya, east of Nyunmanu in the Gibson Desert. The central white panel is the creek through which the dreaming trail passes, and the sides are sandhills. In mythological times the Two Kangaroo Dreaming passed through this site. As these ceremonies are of a secret nature, the artist did not reveal any further detail."
As stated on a copy of the Papunya Tula certificate of authenticity.
