’That one Purnululu - Bungle Bungle,’ Patrick Mung Mung says. He has painted his grandfather and great-grandfather’s country. ’That’s all that sandy hill country with green grasses and the old people used to live there in the old days like a village,’ he says. Nawugarlwin (meaning frog) is the Gija name of this place, which is known as the place where the brown frogs bury themselves in the sand. Mung Mung’s family group who used to live and work on Texas Downs Station would go on holiday to Purnululu: ’We used to dig for these frogs and cook ’im up on the coals. It has white meat like the goondarri [fish]; it tastes good.’
