This is Lucy's country a long way south of Balgo close to Punmu in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is called Nyakungtjuungku and is part of the artists dreaming. The lines in the painting represent tali (sandhills), which dominate the land. Loomoo says this country is rich with bush tucker. The dotting surrounding the tali represents these bush foods including kantilli or pura (bush tomato)
