The painting depicts a landscape of spinifex grass (yellow dots), sand (red areas), rocks (brown areas), and branches of the wild fig or desert fig (Ficus platypoda var. minor). Desert fig grows as a shrub up to 4 meters high, bearing reddish-brown and yellow fruits and tough, leathery green leaves. The fruits are harvested all year-round and can be eaten fresh or dried. Dried figs are an important food source in the outback. Additionally, these bushes grow in areas where water is present underground, making them a natural indicator of water sources. During dry seasons, people can dig near these bushes to find water.
