This painting represents the six seasons in the Noongar seasonal calendar (Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang). The Noongar seasons are represented by a colour, can be long or short and are indicated by what is happening and changing around us rather than by dates on a calendar. The six-season calendar is extremely important to Noongar people as it is a guide to what nature is doing at every stage of the year, as well as understanding respect for the land in relation to plant and animal fertility cycles and land and animal preservation.​
