Notes:This painting is accompanied by a certificate from Warlayirti Artists, Balgo together with extensive documentation from Alcaston Gallery. The Warlayirti certificate states: 'Eubena has painted some of her country south-west of Balgo along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route. The majority of the painting shows the tali (sandhills) that dominate this country. The central circles are Tjurrnu (soakwater) named Midjul. This is the country where Kinyu the spirit dog lives. Eubena would often cover Midjul with leaves so Kinyu wouldn't come out and would also leave gifts of goanna for Kinyu.'
