The main motif of this painting depicts the Dogwood Acacia Tree. This is a very useful tree that grows on the sides of creek beds and near Mulga Trees. The seeds of this tree can be eaten raw or cooked on the fire. A delicious sweet drink called 'yinjirrpi' is made from the seeds when they have been dried.
The wood can be used to make weapons, such as boomerangs, and dancing boards for ceremonies. It is also good wood for burning on the fire because rain cannot extinguish this type of wood.
