‘Mati Munu Minymaku Walka’
Ruby has depicted a ‘Husband and Wife’ story. Wati translates as Man, Minyma as woman and Walka as
design or drawing. This story is about a family camping and hunting for their favourite bush tucker. The men are
the larger ‘u’ shapes with a kali (boomerang) and spear at their side. The women can be seen with their children
or tjitji camped under a wiltja or shelter around a camp fire. The orange areas are the camp fires. The larger
circles down the middle are the rock holes where water can be found, while the blue and green striped areas are creeks.
