Emu country. This painting depicts Carlene's familys country. near Kanypi in the Western APY Lands. It is the country of the emu, meaning the meu (kalaya) is the ancestral being who formed that part of the country. That Kalaya travelled from Kanpi to Watarru. It is very typical for the Kalaya to have many children, like Carlene who has six children.
