This painting depicts Waynatjura’s birthing place Tjutjuranyara (Circus waters rock hole). There is a special story associated with the rock hole. Minyma kutjarra (two women) were camping at the Tjutjuranyara rockhole. They collected kampurarrpa (bush raisins) and with a flat stone and round stone ground the little fruit into a sticky paste. They then rolled the paste into balls to eat.
