In this painting Mona has depicted many rock holes where water collects after the rains. These rock holes are an important source of water during the dry season when most of the water holes and creeks dry up. Water is an essential element in the desert. Knowledge of rock hole sites is passed from generation to generation and revered by all Anangu (people) Pitjantjatjara.
