This painting is about all the ladies sitting down in the bush having a lovely day hunting sitting around and talking. Sometimes we collect the tjanpi (grass) to make lovely baskets. See us here we are cooking marlu wipu (kangaroo tails) and tirngka (sand goanna). We have made a wind break to stop the wind. We are waiting for a Toyota to come and pick us up at the end of the day. Waiting, waiting waiting, soon it will come.
