Original artwork description:

The inspiration for this landscape painting was the majestic eucalyptus trees in the Para Wirra Conservation Park.
Para Wirra Conservation Park is not only important as an educational resource, but also for its conservation and recreation value. A block of native vegetation of this size is important, for the maintenance of diversity of animal and plant species as much of it has been adversely affected by past agricultural and mining practices.
The conservation park takes its name from what are believed to be two local Aboriginal words; Para meaning "river" and Wirra meaning "forest". Three nations are traditional owners connected to Para Wirra , the Peramangk, Ngadjuri and Kaurna nations.
