This painting shows people talking about the dreaming story of the Seven Sisters travelling across the country and being chased by the old magician (Yula). The women, who had been collecting bush food could see the old magician looking for their tracks. The Sisters hid themselves, crawling over the country where they can now be seen as stones with the magician Yula as a prominent Currajong tree. Eventually, the Kungkarrangkalpa ascended into the sky and all became stars. That is why, in the night sky, we can see the seven sisters (the Pleiades) followed by Yula (Orion)
