This painting tells of Kapi Tjukitji [Water Soakages] at Nyunmanu, an Outstation to the south-east of Kintore. The circles are important water or rockhole sites. The lines and patterns represent water travelling through the landscape. Doris has painted a plentiful memory from her past in the early days when she was learning from her mother out at Wilura and Nyumannu. Nyunmanu is a Dreaming site just to the south east of the remote Aboriginal community of Kintore in the Northern Territory. Doris talks of her and her mother handling different types of Mangarri [food]. As Doris talks about these memories she enacts the handling and eating of Mai [food] and drinking Kapi [water]. Doris speaks of breaking open Pura [big wild bush tomatoes] to eat the flesh and collecting and eating lyuru [a sweet natural cotton-candy-like bush food]. Doris talks of different tools to collect this Mangarri, like Wana [digging sticks, and speaks of other parts of the fruitful landscape such as Watiya [trees].
