Label Text:During ancient times a group of Ancestral men and women travelled east from the rockhole and soakage water site of Tjiturrulpa toward the rockhole site of Illpilli. Along the way they gathered material for the production of various tools used in everyday life. The lines depict the lengths of wood that are yet to be fashioned into a variety of tools including kulata (spears), wana (digging sticks), kiritji (shield), and kali (boomerang).
