- Artwork story
- The roundel in this painting represents the rockhole ite of Manguri just to the west of the Tjukula Community.
This site was visited by a large group of women before they continued their travels east, passing over a number of sandhills and a series of rockholes. As they travelled they gathered the edible berries known as kampurararrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub solanum centrale.
