22. Irriya Nola
'At the rockholes of Irriya, two men were sitting down tellling stories. They were having a close look at the rockhole there. They went back to tell the others, who were at Karku, about this place and what they had seen there'. The design highlights the colourful bushland after the rains, with the wildflowers and the many sandhills that are a dominant feature of the landscape.

Tjarlirli Art and Kaltukatjara Art are two community-owned art centers located on either side of the border between the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The Tjarlirli art centre is located in Tjukurla, a small community of around 50 people in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. Tjukurla was established here in the 1980s due to its proximity to extremely significant cultural sites and the ancestral homelands of community members. Nestled between sand dunes and the vast salt lake (Lake Hopkins). Kaltukatjara art centre is just across the border in the NPY Lands of the Northern Territory. Kaltukatjara (Docker River) community was established as a settlement in the 1960s and is now home to around 300 people. It lies along stunning mountain ranges and river beds.
