Tali tjuta (sand dunes) all along here. This is country I am responsible for around Kuru Ala (located in the Great Victoria Desert of WA). There are small rock holes along the ridges of sand dunes. Lennard has also depicted the permanent rock hole of Wiyatjara, a site belonging to the Wa Kutjara – Serpent Men from Pukara. The men travelled from Wiyatjara to Purpurnya close by to Kuru Ala. Lennard was born at Kuru Ala making him the senior custodian for this place. It is a ‘Women’s Site” holding the Kungkarangkalpa Tjukurpa – Seven Sisters story. As a man, there are places he cannot go but he still holds authority and cultural responsibilities for Kuru Ala.
