ENQUIRE

Karntawarra is the name of a small rockhole, found on Tossie’s grandmother’s country, north west of Wilkinkarra, or Lake Mackay, the vast salt lake south of Balgo in The Great Sandy Desert.

Karntawarra only holds water after rain, and is shown here in the centre of the painting, dominated by the tali, or sand dunes of the area. This is rocky, hilly country with bush raisin found here in abundance.
