STORY - Flemming, Nampijinpa and Singleton

Artist: Rosie Nangala Flemming

Rosie has depicted kurlkura trees in her country, Warlukurlangu, south of Yuendumu. The trees are shown in flower. The country offers a big water soakage (Ngapa) and is a place of rest for Nampijinpa/Jampijinpa/Nangala/Jangala skin groups.

Artist: Alice Dixon Nampijinpa

Alice's etching describes an important water hole in her country. This is the way the water runs off the sand into the much-needed water hole where it stays for a long time. The travelers and animals can find water here.

Artist: Pauline Nampijinpa Singleton

This particular site of the Yankirri Jukurpa, (emu dreaming) is at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu. The 'yankirri' travelled to the rockhole at Ngarlikurlangu to find water. Emus are usually represented by their 'wirliya' (footprints), arrow-like shapes that show them walking around eating 'yakajirri' (bush raisin).
