PAINTING STORY

This painting depicts a 'yankirri jukurrpa' (emu dreaming) from a place called Ngarlikurlangu 50kms north of Yuendumu. The 'kirda (owners) of this dreaming are Nangala/Nampijinpa women and Janala/Jampijinpa men.

The Jukurrpa tells the story of a 'yankirri' (emu) and a 'wardilyka' (bush turkey). Yankirri lived at a soakage to the west called Warnirripanu (or Walangkamirriri), while 'warilyka'lived at a soakage to the east called Parirri. The emu and bush turkey used to go around the country picking 'yakajirri' (bush raisins) and mashing them into 'kapurdu (fruit balls) to save in their nests for later. However, they were jealous of each other; the emu thought that the bush turkey was picking the best and the juiciest 'yakajirri' and was leaving him with only the sour 'yakajirri'.

The emu went to the bush turkey's nest to the east while the bush turkey was out hunting and smashed up the 'kapurdu' that the bush turkey had saved there. When the bush turkey returned, he found his smashed 'yakajirri' balls and realised that the emu had destroyed them. He went to the west to confront the emu and when he found him, they got into a big fight. The bush turkey eventually flew away to the north, leaving behind the smashed 'yakajirri' balls.

Awesome Shirt!

I was so excited when this shirt arrived. The material is luxurious, the pattern is super cool and my wife actually liked it :) The fact that it is an Aboriginal design representing a native Australian plant was icing on the cake. It runs a little large for me, but I understand that size is difficult to get right for everyone.

Vibrant new fresh colours, cool, refreshing and the comments leave me in awe. I have recommended your products to all my friends and since 2022 when I first purchased shorts and shirts from your outlet in Broome I have been more than happy.
