This painting depicts the travels of the Tingari ancestors to Pinari, where there is a large cave with water inside of it. The Tingari men came together here from Kiwirrkura and Tjukula. They flew through the air from a place near the present-day Redbank outstation, to Pinari, where they gathered for ceremony. 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 contemporary customs. —Papunya Tula Artists
