The writer for the song, Neil Murray, actually wrote this song about Elcho Island. He had spent some time there after being in central Australia. After leaving the place it felt like paradise to living in the cities of Australia.
It was originally recorded by Warumpi Band who Neil had spent time with together on Elcho Island (about 10 years prior to Christine Anu's release of the same song).
