The painting is of Warlawoon Country. Warlawoon is between Bedford Downs and Tableland Stations and is where Kathy's father grew up. Although minimal in appearance, these works are laden with meaning as the two artists paint the hills, camping places and the waterholes of this country.

Kathy now lives in the community of Juwurlinji (Bow River), north of Warlawoon. However this work is forever infused with the memory of and longing for Warlawoon. Beyond depictions of place, these paintings act as reminders of the impact of pastoral occupation on Gija homelands.
