This is a wallaby and emu hunting story by Denny Jambajimba, the "Witch Doctor"of the Yuelamu Community, who carries out healing using magic and herbal potions.
The tools of the hunter are shown at the centre of the painting - spears, boomerangs, a shield, and a stone knife.
Tracks of an emu are also shown, and in the strips at either side, the tracks of a wallaby's rear feet. At one side is a drag mark, being the end of a spear which has pierced its side.
Denny lives very traditionally, camping in the bush with his family, hunting, painting and carving artefacts, and venturing into the community store every week or so. Denny is married to Daisy Nabanardi.
