This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage water site of Tjiturrulpa, situated in rocky hills west of the Kintore Community.
During ancient times a group of men and women travelled east from this site toward the rockhole site of Illpilli. Along the way they gathered material for the production of various tools used in every day life. While at Tjiturrulpa the group also gathered a variety of bush foods including pitjara or desert yam, pura or bush tomato and kampurarrpa or desert raisin.
