This story relates to the Water Creation or Dreaming Ancestors. In this painting the circle represents an important water or
rock hole site. Knowledge of where to find water is handed down from generation to generation to ensure survival in the
desert. The Ancestors were honoured by Aboriginal people in corroborees performed at sacred sites where the spirit of the
Ancestors had become part of the landscape, or turned into entities such as water holes, rocks or trees.
