These mural depict traditional bush foods of the region.

Elements in the mural include wild toma­toes, cork­wood hon­ey, kan­ga­roos and a bush turkey. The mur­al was designed and paint­ed main­ly by the local Cen­tral Arrernte women and was car­ried out in a style close­ly asso­ci­at­ed with the Namatji­ra school of water colourists. Its mes­sage of the health advan­tages of bush foods and pro­vides a reminder that there are two cul­tur­al sys­tems of envi­ron­men­tal knowl­edge co-exist­ing in Mparntwe.
