Warlu Jukurrpa

This painting shows the traditional practices associated with burning off areas of spinifex country. The fires are lit so that 'liwirringki' (burrowing skinks), other lizards and small mammals are flushed out of their burrows and hiding places. The 'kirda' (custodians) of this dreaming are Japaljarri/Jungarrayi men and Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women. This dreaming is specifically associated with hunting 'liwirringki' and is celebrated with a 'corroborree' (ceremonial design).
