The most memorable feature is the central jungle-hunt scene with four large red mushroom pop bumpers looming over a painted safari party: a woman in striped shorts and a white shirt holding a rifle, a seated man in a blue shirt and pith helmet, and a woman in a pink swimsuit perched on the right bank. A coiled python painted on the left shoulder beside the slingshot is the unusual detail people tend to remember. The distinctive red-bordered TARGET GROUPS card sits dead centre under the bumpers. The cream lower apron is unusually busy for its size, packed with a full scores table, a cartoon woman holding a golf club, a TILT/ENDS GAME pennant and a 5 BALLS 10c PER PLAY box.

A rectangular painted backglass panel with a speckled beige outer border framing a jungle scene. The centre-left is dominated by a large curved yellow marquee-style word with black dotted outline and a red drop shadow, with a smaller red script word above it on a blue ground. To the right, a vine-hung thick tree branch stretches across a bright blue sky with white cumulus clouds, a pale star, and hanging green vines. Three orange-brown monkeys swing and climb on the branch, one upside-down. At the right edge a blonde woman in a white pith helmet, red short-sleeved blouse, cream shorts and white shoes stands in profile facing left, holding a long rifle across her body. A red-and-orange spotted big cat crouches in the lower-left foliage. A large rectangular cut-out window occupies the middle-lower area, bordered by painted jungle and, above the cut-out, a flat landscape band of yellow, green and purple hills. A red vertical panel on the left carries a column of numerals. Colours: sky blue, yellow, red, green.
