"This painting depicts a story from the Walu rockhole. There were two men and one little boy camping at the rockhole. The men went hunting and the little boy stayed. The men returned with an emu and pulled out its heart. The boy was holding the heart and blood spilt out onto the rocks. He ran away with the heart and turned into wind. The emu's blood trail stained the rocks and it can still be seen there today. You can see the other rockholes here too! Some other people were camping near Walu, they must be finished now?"
As stated on the Warakurna Artists certificate of authenticity.
