This painting depicts designs associated with the claypan and rockhole sites of Lampintja and Tjulnpanya on the south side of Lake MacDonald.  A group of women camped at this site gathering the mungilypa or samphire seeds from the small fleshy sub-shrub Tecticornia verrucosa.  These seeds are then ground into a paste which is cooked in the coals to form a type of unleavened bread.  The women then traveled north-east through Kuunkunya and Putjana.
