Provenance

This painting is accompanied by a certificate from Warlayirti Artists which reads in part, 'Eubena has painted some country south west of Balgo, along the Canning Stock Route. This country is centred around Kunawarritji (well 33). The main features of the painting are the tali (sandhills) which dominate this country. The central circles represent warniri (rockholes) and are named from left to right Midiki, Napayindi, Jurnpa and Walmarlajarbu. These warniri are often visited for the collection of water.'
