The painting depicts iconography referring to the Frog (Purda Punta) Dreaming. This Dreaming evolves from the Lander River, 200 miles north-west of Alice Springs, Aboriginal Art Regions of Central Australia.

The Frog (Purda Punta) buries itself underground in the Lander river system and surfaces only, when the river floods (can be up to seven years).
