The riverbed in Earth Images is painted from an aerial perspective and shows the winding of the river from its origins through the country.
The winding of the river forms the basis for many Aboriginal stories with the river being an important food and water source as the Aboriginal people traveled across the country.
The concentric circles shown in Earth Images represent campsites where traditional Aboriginal people would come together and share food and stories associated with the land.
There is a Dreaming story of the Rainbow Serpent who left numerous trails as it traversed the country, but now, all that remains are the riverbeds that were once fresh laid tracks.
