Tjparra, this Snake Dreaming story takes place south of Yagga Yagga (my mothers and Grandparents country). Here, surrounded by numerous tali (sand hills) the snake is playing around in the milky waters.As the women started to dance the snake knew it was time to move. As the snake moved and headed towards two hills near Kiwikurra he created the creek. From there he continued and made the soak water in that area that is still used today. The blue panel represents a tali (sand dunes) and the orange represents a neighbouring areas. The central panel shows the numerous bush foods in this area and the water hole- due the abundent water supply this area is always green
