Nora's work depicts her traditional country near Kunawarritji Community (Well 33), far south west of Balgo along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route. The lines in the painting represent the tali (sand hills) that dominate this country. This is good country for collecting bush foods including pura (bush tomato) and kantjilyi (bush raisin). The circular shapes in the bottom right corner represent a major water source in this area.
