Keringke Art is located at Santa Teresa 80 kms Southeast of Alice Springs.  Built in 1953, the Santa Teresa mission has a population of around 500 people.  In Arrernte, Keringke means "Kangaroo tracks" as related to a Dreamline 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 go not go further. With all the files around, he began to throw dust over himself.  In doing this, he made a big hole that becomes a rock hole.  After the kangaroo left  his footprints in the rock which can still be seen today, the rock hole became Keringke.  The Art Centre is named after this rock hole, Keringke.
