Tommy Mitchell says this painting is about Tjunka's country and a special place called Wakalpuka, a rockhole at the base of Mt. Fanny on the road from Warakurna to Blackstone. It's a story about an emu man. He was walking around and making noise from his throat. He was making a funny sound and his throat exploded! The young emu boys were also walking around. Nothing more can be said about this tjukurrpa." (Warakurna Artists) © Tjunka Lewis/Copyright Agency 2022
