With the use of Aboriginal iconography this artwork depicts man hunting and women (U shaped motifs) gathering bush tucker, with digging stick and coolamon.

Historically, Aboriginal people were hunters and gatherers. The men used spears, traps, clubs, and boomerangs for hunting, whilst the women tended to be responsible for the gathering of plants and small animals. The hand print is symbolic and can be often seen in caves and rock walls.
