Nabiru says, This is my country where I grew up, Winpa, it ois near the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert. We walked long way to hunting country. The five circles are the men hunting, around are the trees where the animals are hung from. Some men got weak from the sun. Weak one, he laydown here. The men came back but couldn't help him. He died here at the tree.
