Territory border. The blue-grey areas indicate hills. The yellow indicates springs and waterways. In the top left
of the painting are two hills Woorlala Garjabany meaning children with sores. The two long shapes below are
called Jimirreng which means dog dreaming. In the lower left is a painting of two hills. In between the two hills
is a spring Gerriyem. The hill below on the bottom left corner of the painting is called Warlganjiman - sand
goanna dreaming. At the bottom centre of the painting is a blue curved rock and the yellow circle named
Turkey Spring. The hill near it is Gowarrem - crocodile dreaming. In the top right corner is Nyimbiye - butterfly
dreaming and the long line in the centre is a spring Berdoodoobang which runs right from the top centre to the
lower right corner down to Gowarrem.
