"The circles in this painting depict rockholes and soakage water sites at the claypan site of Watanuma, north-west of the Kintore Community. A group of women camped at this site before travelling to the rockhole site of Malparingya and continuing east to Pinari, also north-west of Kintore. While at Watanuma they made spun hair-string for making hair-stroing skirts which are worn during ceremonies. They also gathered the seeds known as mungilypa or samphire from the small fleshy sub-shrub Tecticornia verrucosa. These seeds are ground into a paste which is cooked in the coals to form a type of unleavened bread."
