This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Mangkaja Arts that states: ‘This is another Ngarrangkarni (Dreamtime) Story. A kangaroo travelled through here, he went right up to Maanjoowa, through manarra. It went right through and kept going to the desert. It didn’t come back. The wind came up as it went, a willy willy. The wind made these marks on the water.’
