Depicted in the mural are several native plants indigenous to the Riverwood area. Ox King selected rare plants that are listed as an endangered populations in NSW, hoping to raise awareness of local residents to these species. He notes; “The central cluster represents the Gosford Wattle (Acacia prominens), the flowers and buds at the top of the mural represent the Magenta Lilly Pilly (Syzygium paniculatum), these are framed either side by the more common Sydney Golden Wattle (Acacia longifolia)“. He also included Blue Banded Bees (Amegilla), which are native to Australia, as the artist notes; “the bee’s interaction with the plants helps them pollinate and thrive much like the actions of local councils help preserve the natural beauty of the local area“.
