Keringke Art is located at Santa Teresa eighty kilometers south east of Alice Springs. Built in 1953, the Santa Teresa mission has population of around 500 people. In Arreernte, Keringkye means, “kangaroo tracks” as related to a Dreamtime story. In the story, a giant red kangaroo  came to pass through this country. As he did so, he became caught in a yellow vine and could go no further. With all the flies around, he began to throw dust over himself. In doing this, he made a big hole and became a rock hole. After kangaroo left his footprints in the rock which can still be seen today, the rock hole became Keringkye.
