Elizabeth, when asked about Love/Magic, depicted her father's country known as Parwalla. It is located far to
the south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert, west of the community of Kiwirrkurra. The landscape of the area is
dominated by tali or sand hills. Parwalla is swampy, filling a huge area with water after the wet season rain.
These wet season rains result in an abundance of good bush tucker. Depicted here is kantjilyi, or bush raisin
surrounded by tali or sand hills. Both men and women collect bush raisins with each other. It is an activity said
to bring men and women together. The bush raisin is high in protein and is thought to have beneficial healing
properties for women's complaints.
