Maggie paints about her childhood: the station where she grew up, went to school, and worked, the dam she visited for fishing and swimming, and the bush tucker she collected. Her mother is frequently referred to in the stories associated with her artwork, as are then Myroodah Station Manager Mick, and teacher Mary, Lanigan. Maggie also fondly remembers the friends she grew up with on the station, with whom she would ‘run amok’.
