This painting is sold with the Papunya Tula documentation and reads:

"The Two Kangaroo Dreaming at the site of Watukarrinya, to the south­ east of the Kintore Community, is depicted in this painting. The roundel is a rockhole at the site. The straight lines are a windbreak and the rectangular shapes show where the kangaroos slept. Because of the secret nature of the ceremonies associated with this site, the artist did not give any further detail."
