- Artwork story
- During mythological times a group of ancestral women visited the rockhole site of Lupulnga, south of the Kintore community. They held ceremonies which are associated with the area to this day, before continuing their travels north to Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald), and later the Kintore area. The lines in the painting represent hair-string which is spun to make the hair-belts, which are worn by both men and women during ceremonies.
