This painting rdepicts designs associated with the site of Lupulnga, a rockhole situated south of the Kintore Community in Western Australia. The Peewee (small bird) Dreaming is associated with this site and the arrow like shapes depict the tracks of the Peewee. During ancestral times a group of women visited this site holding ceremonies associated with the area before continuing their travels north to Kaakuratintji (Lake McDonald), and later the Kintore area. As they travelled they gathered large quantities of the edible fruit known as pura or bush tomato from the small shrub Solanum chippendalei.

This fruit is the size of a small apricot and, after the seeds have been removeved, can be stored for long periods by halving the fruit and skewering them onto a stick.
