This painting represents two ancestral wanampi (water snakes) that travelled from th esite of Pinpirrnga (Desert Bore) to Pinari, north-west of the Kintore community. The wanampi were of the Tjakammra kinship subsection and wer searching for suitable mates of the Napaltjarri kinship subsection. On their travles the snakes created the large tali (Sandhills) and puli (rocky outcrops) throughout this area, which are depicted in this painting by the numerious lines. Upon arrival at Pinari they encountered a female wanampi of the Napaltjarri kinship subsection. The two Tjakamarras fought over the Napaltjarri, which resulted in her leaving. The Tjakamarras then went underground continuing their travels west to Wilkinkarra (Lake MacKay) visiting numerous sites and rockholes along the way.
