The painting depicts the bush plum ( Arnwekety ), a staple food source
(bush tucker), gathered by Aboriginal women from Utopia in Central Australia.
The yellow dots represent a topographical view of the tracks left by the women whilst searching for bush plum. In their ceremonies the women celebrate the spirit of the bush plum to ensure future productivity. This fruit is only available for a few weeks of the year and the plant is recognised by Aboriginal people for its medicinal qualities (bush medicine).
