This huge vertical composition is subdivided into eight sections each marked with a different coloured ground, which reads as follows from the bottom upwards.
The first panel represents Mullabunyun in Alawa country with Alawa totems of centipede, gullulugulbulu (butcherbird) and butterfly. An army of bull ants, symbolic of a group of people, has formed to protect Alawa country.
The second panel depicts Langgaban, the artist's grandfather's country and another group of people who are fighting to protect Langgaban, to maintain their land. This recalls a time in Gudabi's life when there was fighting for territory between warring groups. Aboriginal 'payback' or 'dead men business' often occurred.
The third panel represents Gurdang, the artist's grandfather, a rock painter and one of the last men to have lived in the bush in Alawa country.
The fourth panel represents special plants used as medicine after circumcision of young men or incision of young women. Women's dancing lines are shown to indicate their presence.
