The Le Pley Collection, Western Australia, acquired from the above in 2009
"Bob's painting represents Walatu (Lake Hopkins) in Western Australia, close to Tjukurla. Walatu is a large salt lake also known as Marlu Kumpu. It is a Tingari site for Watis (men) travelling from Walungurru in the Northern Territory. After the rain, there is a lot of Kapi (water) and plenty of Mayi (bush foods)."
