"The painting gives a bird's eye view of the artist's traditional country showing some of the main features. All of these are associated with the travels and exploits of Two Men or Wati Kutjarra in the Dreamtime or Tjukurrpa. They camped at all these places and have left signs and powers in the land. These are looked after by senior men such as the artist."
