- Artwork story
- This painting depicts the two devil spirits, Jinpi and Manginta, who guided Rover Thomas and the spirit of his deceased aunt on their dream journey. The journey began at the home of the Rainbow Serpent, in a whirlpool off the coast of Broome, and ended at Kellysknob in Kununurra. There, they witnessed the destruction of Darwin by Cyclone Tracy.
