The U shape with lines represents a woman
The lines represent body paint markings
The large circles represent a ceremonial site
The small circles represent bush melon
The dotted areas represent seed pods from the bush melon
Betty Mbitjana has inherited this dreaming from her Mother Minnie Pwerle (passed away).
The bush melon is a sweet bush tucker, which once grew in abundance at Antwengerrp, Utopia in Central Australia. Betty's mother and other women used to gather the fruit either to be eaten or stored in times when bush tucker was scarce.

In the middle of the steamy desert day
When the sun is the highest the sands will obey
Forced to gleam and glisten under the heat
This brilliant place where sun and earth meet
These dancing sands that moved with the light
Made the horizon beam as if almost alight
The dunes they will flow so perfectly curved
This was a sight that few had observed
