One story for this Jukurrpa is of two\u003cbr\u003eancestral ‘karnta’ (women) of the Napangardi and Napanangka skin\u003cbr\u003egroups who travelled south from Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs, west of\u003cbr\u003eYuendumu) through country near Karrinyarra (Mount Wedge) to the\u003cbr\u003esouth and re-emerged at two ‘mulju’ soakages) at Yinjirimardi, west of\u003cbr\u003eYuendumu. They were accompanied by a man of the Japangardi skin group. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe would sometimes change himself into a ‘warlawurru’ (wedge-\u003cbr\u003etailed eagle) and fly behind them. Unknown to the Napangardi women,\u003cbr\u003eher Japangardi classificatory brother and the Napanangka were lovers.\u003cbr\u003eThey travelled further north and returned to Pikilyi where they entered\u003cbr\u003ethe ground, creating the large freshwater springs that are still there\u003cbr\u003etoday.
