The imagery tells the story of Yagan and his family, their alienation from the white people, the taking and fencing off of their traditional land, the killings and the payback, and the treacherous ambush of Yagan, Heegan and his party by the ''Keates brothers'' at the site in 1833. Wall one will depict the story of Yagan and his people from colonisation to his untimely and tragic death.<ref>[http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A020578b.htm Australian Dictionary of Biography, Online Edition]</ref>
