Story

The country associated with this Jukurpa is Kiwirrkura, west of Kingtore, in Western Australia. The Dreaming travelled as clouds, lightening and thunder from Kiiwirrkurra, north to Warlarla (Rabbit Flat) and beyond to Purtalypa (Christmas Creek).

The circles in the work show the water holes made by this dreaming and the lines are represnting sandhills near Kiwirrkura.
