Dulcie Williams took cultural responsibility for her totem, Yuparli - the Bush Banana. The bush banana grows on a vine with small, green, oval shaped fruit. It grows near trees which provide shade and support in the desert environment. The bush banana thrives near creeks and waterholes and is an important food source in the traditional bush food diet for Aboriginal people in the desert regions of Australia. Dulcie is noted for her connectedness to Yuparli which has both nutritional and healing properties. This painting depicts the five areas where the women go to forage for food with the sense of happiness expressed through the vibrant colours.
