The artist represents her country, Kaningarra in the Great Sandy Desert, which she knows intimately because she lived here with her family as a young girl.

It is a favourite camping place because there is a plentiful source of water and mangarri (bush foods), including tjunta (onion), karnti (potato), tjirrilpatja (carrot) and kumpupatja (tomato).
