In the Dreaming, a group of ancestral women gathered at Tjukurla, where a community exists today, to perform the dances and sing the songs associated with the place. While there, they also spun string from their hair, which they later made into nyimparra (hair-string skirts) that are worn in specific ceremonies. Afterward they traveled north toward Kintore, gathering large quantities of pura (bush tomatoes), mangata (quandong or native peaches) and kumpurarrpa (desert raisins). Bush tomatoes are about the size of a small apricot, and after the seeds have been removed and the fruit is halved and skewered on a stick, they can be stored for long periods of time. Native peach is a traditional bush food much sought after throughout the region, and desert raisins are eaten immediately or sometimes ground into a paste and cooked over coals to make a bush bread. These foods are represented in the painting by the many small circles.
