Artwork: The site depicted in this painting is Puyurru, west of Yuendumu. In the usually dry creek beds are ‘mulju’ (soakages) or naturally occurring wells. The ‘kirda’ (owners) for the site are Nangala / Nampijinpa women and Jangala / Jampijinpa men. Two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, Unleashed a giant storm. The storm travelled across the country from the east to the west, initially travelling with a ‘pamapardu Jukurrpa’ (termite dreaming) from Warntungurru to Warlura, a waterhole 8 miles east of Yuendumu.
