The painting depicts a site called Warmurungu where the people collect coloured ochres used in ceremonies. When the colours are excavated the spirits of the emus are released like a wind and take physical form. There are many emus in the area. The centre of the concentric circles shows where the emus stopped to drink in the dreaming time.
