This painting depicts the natural landscape around Yuendumu. The bush around Yuendumu features plenty of ‘wayita’ trees, ‘marina’ grass, ‘Kuku’ animals to hunt, and ‘miyi’ edible plants to gather.
There are a number of beautiful natural features close to Yuendumu, including rocky hills, soakages and waterholes. There are also a number of small outstations.
There are many sites around Yuendumu that are associated with different 'Jukurrpa' (Dreamings). These sites include a major 'Yunkaranyi' (Honey Ant Dreaming), which travels from the west to the east. Yuendumu is sometimes also called 'Yurrampi' (Honey Ant) for this reason.
