According to the Dream of the Wild Plum, Great Ancestors who emerged from the original magma created a watering place called Arlperre in the territory of the artist's people, which still exists today. It was here that the first desert plum trees grew, and the Aborigines still harvest their fruit today.

The women who held this fertility Dream celebrated it in ceremonies by coating their skins with emu grease. Their bodies were then painted by their peers, who used natural pigments whose colors took on those of plums, depending on their stage of ripeness.
