Label TextUnkunya is a soakage water site west of the Pollock Hills in Western Australia. The Two Snake Dreaming passed through this site after travelling from far in the east. The soakages at the site, represented by the small roundels, were said to have been formed by the snakes at the point where they burrowed underground. The lines outside the roundels depict the tali (sandhills) surrounding Unkunya.Exhibition History
