This painting depicts designs assoicated with the rock hole site of Pinari, north of the Kintore Community. A group of ancestral women once gathered at Pinari to perform dances and sing the songs associated with the area. Upon completion of these ceremonies the women continued their travels east. As they travelled the women gathered large quantities of the edible fruit known as pura, or bush tomato. This fruit is the size of a small apricot and, after the seeds have been removed, can be stored for long periods by halving the fruit and skewering them onto a stick.
