This painting depicts designs associated with Marawa, swamp with rock and soakage water, on the western side of Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men travelled to this site from the west and after arriving they went underground. Since events associate with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature non further detail was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of mythical characters of the Dreaming who travelled over vast stretches of the country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These mythlogies form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.
