This Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) is from Darrajayin country, also known as Springvale Station. In the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) an old woman sang out for her dog Marranyji, an old wild dingo. Her dog had taken off in pursuit of a jiyirriny – kangaroo.


The dog followed the jiyirriny into a cave. The kangaroo grabbed the dog when they were in the back of the cave and held him there. The old woman followed the dog and called out to him. She burnt grass trying to find her dog, but he never came out.


The old woman is the figure standing up with her stick on top of the hill in this painting. The dog and the kangaroo are in the cave below, represented by the two circles. The woman and her dog are still there, in stone, in Juli's country. This place is also called White Water.
