Nyankulua says this about her paintings "I travelled around this country in the early days with my family. Theres a lot of rockholes and we used to walk to all of them. We would stop and camp for a while collecting food and then move on the the other place. The rockhole at Mt Aloysius had good water. I was born there. The other rockholes in my paintings are: Inurantja, Tjilpultjana, Kunpunga (watiku ngura mens place), Mapaangatji (patilku ngura ringneck parrot place), Ultjara, Iltjunga, Yaliri, Palkarli, Numpanumpa, Pukara (Wati Kutjara Tjurpa - two snake mens creation story0, Anamarapiti, Palkini, Punu Wara, Apulunga, Attanga and Wanungtjiri".
