"This painting depicts the tali (sandhills) around Wunmankuntja rockholes where the karlaya (emu) eggs are buried underground. There are number rockholes here, east of Patjarr. The baby emus are blind when they hatch and as they grow up they can see and follow their father around. This country belongs to Manupa's mother and father. The emus travel a long way to Kalatjunti for ‘business' when they are grown up." The Artist
