"Bushtucker" is the Australian term for foods found in the wilds of the outback. This painting tells the story of a group of women who are looking for this food. We are told that: The "U" shapes represent the women. The white rectangles are digging sticks. The white dots connected by black lines are feather belts worn by women during dances. The circles (or roundels) represent an important gathering place, such as a water hole, fire or ceremonial center.
