Lawrence Pennington has painted the country where he grew up and lived as a young man. The painting is centred on the rockholes at Watjara, Mituna and Wakalpukatjara where the Kalaya (Emu) story passes.
Watjara is a large rockhole and there are also numerous small holes in the area which hold surface water after rains. The Kalaya from Mituna are a different group of emus from the ones which passed through Ilkurlka, although this group are all part of the same overall Kalaya story. After leaving Mituna this group of emus headed north east where they met up with other Kalaya gathering together.
