The red, yellow and orange represent the desert country. The blue, green and light blue is the saltwater, creeks and mangrove country.
Desert people came from the desert and walked across Spinifex, rock and bush salt country, then they went to Bidyadanga near the sea. They learnt from the Karrajarri people how to hunt and live from the sea. They all live alng side father Mckelson who taught them English and they taught him their languages from the desert. The people were happy and they all live in this place called Bidyadanga.
