This is Mamungari where many sorcerer people live, it is just past Watarru and is where the mamu (spirit people) would collect bush food.

Here the Mamu are coming up out of the ground. Some are still under the ground. Snakes are coming out of the ground too. The Mamu make a hissing sounds as they pop up out of the ground.

There are tjitji (children) too, with their spears, from that Dreaming.

There are parts of two dreaming stories in this canvas.
