A photograph of a structure made from tree branches with two people standing under it. The structure stands on the top of a small slope, and on the face of the slope are arrangements of rocks spelling a word on the ground (not wholly visible). The ground is brown and dusty, and the sky is clear and nearly cloudless. Partially visible flying in the foreground is the Wangan and Jagalingou flag.
