The painting depicts the wetlands at Kakadu in the Top End of Australia (Northern Territory). The wetlands is a habitat for many bird species, reptiles, frogs, freshwater fish species, insects and more than two thousand plants, including the spectacular water red lilies.

Aboriginal people believe that Kakadu was shaped by their spiritual ancestors during the Creation Time. These ancestors, or 'first people', journeyed across the country creating landforms, plants, animals and Bininj and Mungguy (Aboriginal people). They brought with them laws to live by including ceremony, language, kinship and ecological knowledge. They taught Bininj/Mungguy how to live with the land and look after the country.
