This Jukurrpa comes from Mina Mina. It is about a group of women of all ages who danced at Mina Mina during the Dreaming (creation time).

As they danced, digging sticks rose up out of the ground. This painting depicts the digging sticks, which the women use for foraging and as they dance for yawulyu (ceremony).

As the women travelled, they collected jintiparnta which are edible mushrooms and are considered a delicacy and commonly found in this place The women travelled on from Mina Mina, dancing and creating many landmarks. The long lines on the painting represent the digging sticks and the circles the jintiparnta (edible mushrooms).

The owners of this land, Dreamings and designs are Napangardi women and Napanangka women.
