In this painting, Bob Gibson has created one of his characteristic ‘mind-map’ landscapes of Patjantja, an important ancestral site south-west of Wilkinkara (Lake Mackay). The site is associated with two snakes who, in the Dreaming, were escorted by two men on a journey north from Karrkurinkitja, near Lake MacDonald, leaving behind burrows that filled with water.

Gibson's visualisation incorporates his trademark use of irregular squares and rectangles. These motifs can be read as representing some of the sites between Lake MacDonald and Lake Mackay — the Western Desert's great lakes — punctuated by permanent rockholes and soakages.
