Eubena has depicted some of her traditional country located south west of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is found along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route, around Well 35. The majority of this print depicts the talis, (sand dunes) which dominate the landscape of the area. The central circle is Kinyu waniri (rockhole) which is where Kinyu the spirit dog lives. Eubena told how she would present gifts of goanna to Kinyu whenever she approached this waniri.
