"This painting depicts Old Biddy Nugoray's Dreaming, Biddy is Mick's aunty and her black fella name is Kukunti.

Lightning was chasing the old men and old women, so they sat down underground in a hidden place. Mick's father was one of these old men. This country is called Napakulangu. It is close to Yagga Yagga, south of Balgo."
