ENQUIRE

The country associated with this Jukurrpa is Kiwirrkura, west of Kintore, in Western Australia.  The Dreaming travelled as clouds, lightening and thunder from Kiwirrkura, north to Warlarla (rabbit Flat) and beyond to Purtalypa (Christmas Creek).  Kalwa, an egret or heron, followed this Jukurrpa.

This Jurkurrpa belongs to men of the Jakamarra and Jupurrula skin groups, and women of the Nakamarra and Napurrula skin groups.  The circles in the work show the water holls made by this dreaming and the lines are repersenting sandhills near Kiwirrkura.
