"This painting is of country near Tjikarli. Long way from Irrunytju. This is my granddaughters country. In this painting an emu left his footprint, a big father emu. He saw a lady lying down (in the middle of the painting) surrounded by little snakes. The lady was called Tjikarli. All the snakes were crying when they saw that lady was lying down dead."
