This print depicts a story for Susie’s traditional country, west of Balgo, along the top of the Canning Stock Route. This was the Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) country for Kaningarra, a man who lived here. Kurtal, a snake/man came here to steal from Kaningarra’s camp, and brought with him great dust storms and rain storms to hide his approach and getaway. Kurtal managed to steal some sacred objects from Kaningarra, before running away. The circles depict the hills of the area, that embody the men and their fight. The small dot-painted areas show the tjunda, or bush onion which is abundant in the area.
