This painting depicts designs associated with the site of Minna Minna, east of Jupiter Well. The circular line near the centre of the work represents a creek. The lines at the outer edges are sandhills. A group of women gathered at the site to gather the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale. The small circles represent these berries.
