This painting depicts four different species found in local billabongs and creeks surrounding Beswick. All are gudwan dagga, or tasty tucker when cooked in the coals.
At top is a longneck turtle, below which is a file snake. An eel tail catfish can also be seen along with a bonefish.
Painting has been completed using a handmade grass reed brush called Jarlk. Raark or fine line work is in Yirritja style and consists of multiple lines before alternating colour. Modern acrylic paint has been used.
