This is a big story about our shared country and the stories within. We are weaving together the tales of three important places, Nyapari, Piltati and Kunamata. These sites are close the community where we live and sit down here so that we can look after these sites and teach the young people how to do the same.

Ginger Wikilyiri is the traditional owner of Kunamata, he paints the various trees, animals and landforms that can be found there. Keith is the custodian of Nyapari and Piltati, he paints the Wanampi Tjukurpa associated with Piltati and the hills and creeks beds around Nyapari. Both men have a very special connection to these places, the depth of which is imbued in their paintings.
