The waterbird is landing in the muddy billabong, and the brown and dark red dots represent the mud. The white dots represent the water, the circles filled with smaller circles represent the deep waterholes. The blue dots represent the water weeds, and the circles full of yellow the bushes.
The green wiggly lines represent the snakes that congregate around the outback billabongs.
