In this work, Lawrence Pennington has painted ngalta, the desert kurrajong in Spinifex Lands surrounded by smaller water holes. The kurrajong was a very important plant to the traditional nomadic people of this country as both a food and water source. The seeds, once gathered and cleaned, were parched in ashes and coals and ground into a paste, while the roots were a source of emergency water.
