With the use of Aboriginal iconography the artwork recounts the journey of
the Kookathapeople from the Pitjantjatjara lands, as they followed the rain in search of many types of bush food. The men would hunt, while the women and children gathered bush tucker.

• The background reflects the Pitjantjatjara desert landscape
• The black lines (vertical) represent rain
• The large circles represent camp-site or meeting place
• The black holes represent waterholes
• The dotted black wavy lines represent the tracks
