In this painting Margaret recalls childhood memories of milking nanny goats. Goats milk was very important for Aboriginal people across Central Australia because it was easier for babies, toddlers and even older children to digest. "We always put billycan under nanny goat and get milk. Fill em up and drink it. That's nice - nanny goat!".
