"This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage water site of Ngaminya, just to the south-west of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia.
A group of women, represented by the 'U' shapes, came from the west and made camp at this site. While in the area they gathered the edible berries kampurarrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale which grows in the area."
