The Gallery is named after the Emu Apple bush which produces the desert plum. Growing in the desert, this weeping emubush most certainly loves lonely places, although it hardly ever is completely on its own and often can be found in what could be called a "family-retreat". It is not unusal for the plant to grow in small clusters where one taller parent-tree is surrounded by a number of juvenile trees which have grown either from seed or from root suckers. Aboriginal Food plays a significant role in indigenous art. The seasonal knowledge of where to locate food essential for survival in the Central Desert.
