"This painting shows the artist's dreaming country, the place where her grandfather died. It is a complex depiction of food gathering and country. We see a number of waterholes which are used as people travel through their country. There is a significant camp site shown next to a Wanna (digging stick) used in digging for bush food. There is also a large waterhole which has begun to dry out. As the water recedes a bush tomato known as Pura can be collected. There is also a large coolamon (wooden dish) full of food. The dominant landscape of the painting is sand dune country."

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