This painting has four stories that depict an old landscape, a modern landscape, communities travelling across the country and modern services and ancient practices.

The centre panel depicts these communities travelling over the country, where for millennia they have accessed their many healing practices from the old ways. The ancient lands are represented by the dotted landscape over which they travelled. The ancient practices are represented in the larger circles where healers and Elders are sitting.

Today, these same communities travelling over the same lands have access to many services where twenty-first-century practices can be found. These new services and practices are represented in the large circles within the modern multi coloured lines of the country.

Whilst there are new accessible services and practices, the old practices are still to be utilised, and when communities are crossing country, there is a choice. People can choose from both traditional and modern practices, providing greater potential for healthy communities.
