In this work Gabori depicts the country the she and her late husband shared, Kabararrji on Bentinck Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Dibirdibi is the artist's husband's traditional language group and is also associated with the Rock Cod ancestor and Dreaming. Another later and much larger example of this subject matter from the collection of the Queensland Art Gallery is currently being exhibited in Across Country: Five Years of Indigeous Australian Art in the Collection at the Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland.
