The painting depicts a waterhole located North of Tennant Creek, Jurnkurrakur*. This place is known to be a good place for hunting goanna lirrpiriji*, kangaroo yawirri*, and bush turkey kurtinja*. After the rain, the creek is flowing and we can also collect bush medicine such as jungurrayi jungurrayi*, a grass that blossoms with black flower and are used for curing the bad cold and flue.This place is also the subject of the Mural on the CLC building (former Country Women Association) on Paterson Street.
