This painting shows Kamanggarranarding country (Halls Creek Yard) on Texas Downs Station near Turkey Creek, Western Australia where the artist spent most of her early life. Like much of her work, this painting shows the place where she grew up. The large hill called Kamanggarnarding is in the centre of the painting. Nearby is a spring from which a creek flows out across the country.
