STORY:
Ngapa Jukurrpa (Water Dreaming) – Pirlinyarnu
The site depicted in this painting is Pirlinyarnu (Mt. Farewell),
about 165 km west of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory.
The ‘kirda’ (owners) for the water Dreaming site at Pirlinyarnu
are Nangala/Nampijinpa women and Jangala/Jampijinpa men.
Two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant
storm that collided with another storm from Wapurtali at
Mirawarri. A ‘kirrkarlanji’ (brown falcon [Falco berigora])
carried the storm further west from Mirawarri. The two storms
travelled across the country from Karlipirnpa, a ceremonial site
for the water Dreaming near Kintore that is owned by
members of the Napaljarri/Japaljarri and
Napanangka/Japanangka subsections. Along the way the
storms passed through Junparnta, a site that is owned by
Jampijinpa men. The storm eventually became too heavy for
the falcon. It dropped the water at Pirlinyarnu, where it
formed an enormous ‘maluri’ (claypan). A ‘mulju’ (soakage)
exists in this place today. Whenever it rains today, hundreds of
‘ngapangarlpa’ (bush ducks) still flock to Pirlinyarnu.
In contemporary Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is
used to represent the ‘Jukurrpa’ (Dreaming), associated sites,
and other elements. In many paintings of this Dreaming, short
dashes are often used to represent ‘mangkurdu’ (cumulus &
stratocumulus clouds), and longer, flowing lines represent
‘ngawarra’ (flood waters). Small circles are used to depict
‘mulju’ (soakages) and river beds.

Follow the steps below to find your under bust size (Number).
Measure firmly around your chest and let the measuring tape rest just under your bust, ensuring that the tape is lying straight across your back.
The under bust measurement will be your band size (Number).
If you measure between sizes, it is advisable to go up or down to the closest size number.

Measure the bust line at the fullest part of your chest as firmly as you can, without changing the shape of your breasts.
Subtract the under bust measurement from the over bust measurement.
Find where the result (Difference calculated) lies within the chart below and the corresponding size will be your cup size (Letter).
| cup size | a cup | b cup | c cup | d cup | dd cup | e cup | f cup | ff cup | g cup | gg cup | h cup | hh cup | j cup | jj cup |

Sunflair, Sunmarin, Opera & Olympia swimwear do not come in double sizes or larger than a H cup.
It is advisable to go up or down to the single (Letter) cup size for these brands. As swimwear stretches, the cup size does not need to be as precise as your bra.
Hip Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
