This is a 17.7 cm x 27.8 cm watercolour of 12 people from the Awabakal language group with their dogs beside the Hunter River in New South Wales. It is a cloudy night but the moon has broken through and is reflected on the water. The people are gathered around campfires, possibly in two separate family groups, each with a single bark shelter. Two dogs sit near the fire of the group on the right. In the distance an island and a hill with buildings and smoke from a fire can be seen.
