The place depicted in this painting, Ngama, is located south of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. This Dreaming story describes the journey of Yarripiri, an ancestral ‘warna’ (snake). He travelled from Wirnparrku right through to the top end of Australia. He was very sad as his family had left him behind at Wirnparrku. He was blind and crippled but he was determined to follow and find them. Yarripiri tracks and paths are often represented by arc shapes or curved lines depicted across the canvas.
