This painting shows a large group of women dancing corroboree near Napperby soakage, north of the homestead. Near the soakage itself there are two lines of women. Each woman has a dancing board which she taps on the ground to create the rhythm for the dancing. The wavy lines are tracks made by the two smaller groups of women who are dancing in the corners. This painting is also known as "Snake Dreaming".
Lisa Pultara is the daughter of Mary Pultara who painted Women’s corroboree to celebrate the summer rain, and granddaughter of Kitty Pultara-Naparula who painted Women’s corroboree at Laramba. Lisa is a member of the Anmatyere Tribe, Central Northern Territory.
Mrs Helen McBride was College Principal from 1985 to 1990. One of the projects she commenced with particular enthusiasm was the development of a collection of work by tribal Australian Aboriginal women. The three works from Kitty, Mary and Lisa represent three generations of the one family. Mrs McBride noted in 1990 that Lisa, like her grandmother Kitty, had ceased to paint due to failing eyesight.
