Description
 
Ngartimarnu is the name for some of Boxer's traditional country, which is along the middle stretches of Sturt Creek or Purkitji. The bold, white, central cross depicts the channel of Purkitji, running "proper with milk water". The milk water comes from the white clay soils in part of the catchment area. The small, hook shapes are some of the many small tributaries for this section of Purkitji, in particular some country called Kitjingarra. The back ground colours show some of the different soil types of the area.
