ENQUIRE

Lawrence Pennington has painted country in the northern part of the Spinifex claim area, a waterhole called Tuwan. The places Lawrence paints are often sacred or have sacred aspects to them and as such details are sketchy. Here he mentions the Wati Kutjara (Two Snake Men) who passed by here. He has also depicted kapi itari, the flowing creeks which fill the rock holes after rains. Often the creeks and snakes are indistinguishable as the snakes made the creeks - so the creeks are the snakes. There are also tall trees which hold water in their roots.
