This artwork represents new life and shows the animals that the people ate for bush tucker. These are the mothers, fathers, babies and the eggs. There are wallabies, flying possums and the water snakes Wunggurr. You can see the tracks that the animals made. You can see the bush yam and peoples hands, how they used to dig for them.
