This painting depicts designs associated with a group of senior women siting around the rockhole at Omari, east of the Kiwinkura Community. The women have been gathering the edible seeds known as wangunu of woollybult from the grass Eragrostis criopoda. These seeds are ground, mixed with water to a thick paste and formed into a type of damper which is cooked in the ashes. The women later travelled east to Pinari, north-west of Kintore.
