The Peewee (small bird) Dreaming is associated  with this site, as well as the Kungka Kutjarra or Two Travelling Women Dreaming.During mythological times as group of ancestral women visited the site holding ceremonies associated with the area, before continuing their travels north to Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald), and later the Kintore area. The lines in the painting represent spun hair-string which is used in the making of nyimparra (hair-belts), which are worn by both men and women during ceremonies.
