- Artwork story
- As a young boy Johnny spent some of his early years in this part of the desert. He learnt the ways of the desert and told stories from the Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime). Mimuntilla rockhole was created by a rainbow serpent as were most of the waterholes in the area. He has painted Mimuntilla with its surrounding sandhills and he has shown the water flowing into the rockhole after the summer rains.
