This painting depicts designs associated with the site of Lupulnga, a rockhole situated south of the Walungurru (Kintore) Community. The Peewee (small bird) Dreaming is associated with this site, as well as the Kungka Kutjarra or Two Travelling Women Dreaming. During ancestral times a group of ancestral women visited this site holding ceremonies associated with the area, before continuing their travels north to Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald), and later the Walungurru area.
