This is Paddy’ Stewart Tjapaltjarri's depiction of ‘Janganpa Jukurrpa’ or Possum Dreaming.

This story tells of the journeys made by a possum ancestor who travelled all over the Warlpiri lands during the Dreamtime.

Possums (Janganpa) were frequently found across much of Warlpiri country, however due to feral cats and the introduction cattle and other feral animals, the possum has become extinct in these areas.

The possum is to be considered good meat by the Warlpiri people.

The ' E' shapes are the possum footprints and lines are the imprint left by the possum's tail in the sand, the concentric circle in the concentric circle in the middle of the painting is the possum’s burrow.
