Two Kangaroos & Bush Tucker

The central line represents the distinctive track made in the sand by the kangaroo's tail, with the hind legs either side. Traditionally, Kangaroo ancestors angered Warnayarra (The Rainbow Snake) at Mawarriji, a sacred site near Mt Singleton. They tried to punish the Kangaroo Men with a ferocious storm of wind, rain, and lightning. The Kangaroo Men hid in a cave for several days and waited for the storm to pass.

Concentric circles usually represent a specific site such as waterholes and campsites locations of physical and/or spiritual significance. The 'site' is the starting point for many stories and bush tucker sites. Paintings for ceremonial 'sites' are created in the sand, linking people and places with stories and songs.
