Condition Report: Unmounted Kangaroos are the main source of meat in the Western Desert. They are cooked in the earth, in their own skin, then roasted in the sand over a large fire set on the carcass. The tail is removed and set aside, as it cooks more quickly. During the Dreamtime, several kangaroo ancestors were transformed into this animal. The Namarari did not tell the uninitiated about their exploits. The squares represent the places where the kangaroo ancestors celebrated ceremonies.
