"This painting depicts designs associated with the Seven Sisters' Dreaming at Dale Creek, East of Warakuna, near Giles Weather Station.

The roundels represent camp sites of a group of women of the Napaltjarri kinship subsection who are being pursued by a man of the Tjakamarra kinship subsection. The women travelled over quite a distance but managed to keep ahead of him."
