"This painting is a depiction of country in which Tjemma and her people lived a traditional nomadic life in the desert. We see the footprints of her family on one edge of the painting. It shows four important water sources visited at different times of the year; Yukulparli, Nantajarra, Lulapi and Kumpultjirri. Between these places we see a depiction of different types of bush food found among the sand dunes which dominate the area; Tjirrilpatja (bush carrot), Kumpumpatja and Pura (two types of tomato) and Tjundar (bush onions). There are also two dominant ranges of sand dunes."

As stated on the Warlayirti Artists Aboriginal Corporation certificate of authenticity.
