Depicting the use of Aboriginal iconography the painting recounts the travels of her ancestors and the rock hole site of Walyuta (south-west of Kintore) in the Western Desert in Central Australia.
The explanation of the symbols illustrated are:
- The linear pattern represents the sand hills surrounding the area of the rock hole site
- The roundel represents the Walyuta rock hole site
Ningura's work is characterised with the strong dynamism and bold linear design- compositions created by heavy layers of acrylic paint.
