Designer Liza Multa is the younger sister to Traditional Owner and lawman Douglas Multa. This design depicts the birds eye view of the tali tali (sandhills) at Kungkayunti (Brown’s Bore) . The area is abundant with bush tucker, especially bush tomatoes and bush banana.
 
Kungkayunti is an important place for the travelling Tjukurrpa of the ancestral Arrernte women who travelled 600 kms from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) to Kintore, past Kulpitarra (Outstation) to attend to women’s business. Kungkayunti is the place where the women first camped. On their long journey, the women stopped at Kunkayunti (Brown’s Bore) to camp, rest, eat and dance. When the women reached their destination, they danced, shared their stories and renewed their law. Those women turned into stone and can be seen today. Annual events continue today to strengthen this Tjukurrpa.
