This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Red Rock Art which states: 'Yoonoor Country is situated between Texas Downs and Mistake Creek Stations in the East Kimberley. One of the artist's dreamings, "Snake Dreaming" is associated with this country. In the dreaming the snake that made all the country travelled through here. She set off from the sand hills at the top of the painting, she kept going up and down the hills looking as she went.She climbed up the hill called "Wabngayirriny" (bottom left) where she looked back and saw all the hills she had made. Then she climbed up Jawoorroogii and Jimorabji (at the bottom of the work). When she got to the fourth hill called Darrgayil she camped at the spring with her niece and then listened to all of the hills she had left behind talking. She said to her niece "you and me won't wait for them." After that she climbed up behind Darrgayill and made a big waterhole called Larrini where she stayed for good.'
