Artwork: The story of the Ngarlu Dreaming is about a Jungarrayi man called Lintipillinti who lived at Ngarlu, which means ‘Red Rock’.
A country to the east of Yuendumu. Lintipillinti fell in love with a Napangardi women, forbidden relationship under Warlpiri law, as the women was his classificatory mother-in-law.
These are plants with small red flowers that have honey inside them that are delicious to eat, tasting like ice-cream.
Ngarlu is a scared place where ‘miinypa’ or ‘yanyirlingi’ are still found.
