Looking down on the lands of the Namoi River people from the Guinbrai clan, the stylised river flows across the land.
Along the river are the meeting places of the Guinbrai families, shown as fireplaces with people sitting around them. Since time immemorial, the families have gathered, living in their gunyahs and cooking in earth ovens.
They are born, grow, live, hunt and gather around the river and wetlands and the surrounding mountains, hills, and plains.
Here children played; here people died and are buried.
Along the river, events over the generations are remembered in the clan’s Songlines. It is a great tapestry of human life and of the world around them.
The surrounding country, with its plains, woodlands, forests, hills, and mountains is represented.
The pictorial inserts show common trees such as the cypress pine, red gum, wilga, and wattles. Important totem animals are also shown, such as the red kangaroo, emu and red cockatoo, and the sky with its own life.
The seasons are seen top to bottom.
