This painting depicts the site of Malparingya which is north-west of Kintore. The site, which has many rockholes, was visited in ancient times by a large group of Tingari Men who had travelled from Lake Mackay, camping at various places along the way. The lines represent the large number of spears carried by the men. After stopping at the rockholes the men continued their travelling towards the south-east to Kintore.
Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature. no further detail was given.
Generally, the Tingari are a group of mythical characters of the Dreaming who travelled over vast stretches of the country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These mythologies form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contempory customs.
