This painting tells the story of how Woongies (Aboriginal People) used the forest in the flood time when there were still ceremonies held in certain areas. There was an abundance of food as animals would go to dry ground making them easier to be caught. There was plenty of fish and mouth-watering crayfish. The white figures are Mookies (spirits). It is the Yorta-Yorta belief that the Mookies are still there today.
