The painting depicts two significant elements referring to Uwalki country - Mitjili's father and brother - the renowned Turkey Tolson's (passed away) homeland around Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff) west of Alice Springs in Central Australia.

Illustrated depictions are:

  • watiya tjuta (trees)
  • watiya trees with the root system emerging from beneath the surface

The Aboriginal men use the wood from the watiya tjuta (trees) to hand carve spears, artefacts and ceremonial objects associated with mens business.
