The young boys are leaving the women's camp and are about to meet their fathers and grandfathers (coming from below) to the centre for corroboree of the budgerigar initiation.

The symbols of the upper half of the drawing are the decorations worn for the initiation, being the head-dress, the head-band and the yam stick.

The images on the bottom half of the painting depict those of the initiated men conducting the ceremony. The images are the head-dress, spears, No. 7 boomerang, woomera (spear thrower) and coolamon. 

The intersecting lines represent "budgerigar guts" and the overall decoration represents the flowers, prickles, seeds of the gum trees and other vegetation of the environment.

John Peter Stewart Tjungarrayi was a highly initiated tribal elder, entitled to paint many of the Central Australian Dreamings, thus his work is highly varied in subject representation.
