Angela Burton and Cathy Burton depict the Minyma Mingkiri Tjuta Tjukurpa (small female desert mice story). The mingkiri are pregnant and give birth to many babies, then journey to the surrounding rock holes in search of food and water for their young. The dotted lines represent travel paths as the mice journey for water, the circles represent Kapi Tjukula (waterholes) where the mice stop and rest along the way.
