This is ngura talitja or sand dune country. The series of curving lines are the wind rippled sand dunes, sometimes intercut by the tracks of a Tjukuritja; the burrowings of animals; or the dry bed of a desert creek. Landforms mark sites related to the creation ancestors’ journeys across the country; the dreaming tracks followed by countless generations of Aṉangu since. This walka is specific to the Cooley family.
Desert Mob is presented annually in Mparntwe | Alice Springs on Arrernte Country.
