An old man ‘lungkarda’ (centralian\u003cbr\u003eblue-tongued lizard [Tiliqua multifasciata]), of the Jampijinpa skin group,\u003cbr\u003elived on a hill with his two Jangala sons. The old man would feign\u003cbr\u003eblindness and send the two boys hunting in search of meat. While they\u003cbr\u003ewere gone he would hunt and eat anything that he caught before they\u003cbr\u003ereturned. One day the sons returned with a kangaroo that they had\u003cbr\u003ecaught after much tracking. Unfortunately the kangaroo was sacred to\u003cbr\u003ethe ‘lungkarda’, unbeknown to the boys. In his anger the old man\u003cbr\u003edecided to punish his sons and the next time they went out, he put his\u003cbr\u003efire stick to the ground and sent a huge bush fire after them which\u003cbr\u003echased them for many miles, at times propelling them through the air.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the boys beat out the flames, ‘lungkarda's’ special magic kept\u003cbr\u003ethe fire alive and it re-appeared out of his blue-tongued lizard hole.\u003cbr\u003eExhausted the boys were finally overcome by the flames. In\u003cbr\u003econtemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to\u003cbr\u003erepresent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. Usually sites\u003cbr\u003ethat are depicted in paintings of this Jukurrpa include Warlukurlangu (a\u003cbr\u003emen's cave), Kirrkirrmanu (where the sacred kangaroo was killed),\u003cbr\u003eWayililinypa (where the fire killed the two Jangala sons) and Marnimarnu\u003cbr\u003e(a water soakage) where the two Jangalas camped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlukurlangu Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54350994407713,"sku":"7336\/22","price":2536.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2691\/2256\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-04at2.33.36pm.png?v=1793769794","url":"https:\/\/greenhouseinteriors.com.au\/en-gb\/products\/warlukurlangu-jukurrpa-fire-country-dreaming-original-art","provider":"Greenhouse Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
