Nguru Yurntumu-wana (Country around Yuendumu)

This painting depicts the natural landscape around Yuendumu.
The bush around Yuendumu features plenty of ‘watiya’ (trees),
‘marna’ (grass), ‘kuyu’ (animals) to hunt, and ‘miyi’ (edible
plants) to gather.
There are a number of beautiful natural features close to
Yuendumu, including rocky hills, creeks, soakages, and
waterholes. There are also a number of small outsta􀆟ons
around Yuendumu. These include Yuwali (Bean Tree),
Wakurlpa, Purturlu (Mt. Theo), Jirla (Chilla Well), Yarripirlangu,
Wayililinpa, and many more.
There are many sites around Yuendumu that are associated
with different ‘Jukurrpa’ (Dreamings). These sites include a
major ‘yunkaranyi Jukurrpa’ (honey ant Dreaming), which
travels from the west to the east. Yuendumu is some􀆟mes also
called ‘yurrampi’ (honey ant) for this reason.
A very big ‘ngapa Jukurrpa’ (water Dreaming) travels past
Yuendumu from the south far to the north. This Jukurrpa stops
at Warlura, a waterhole 8 miles east of Yuendumu, and at
Jukajuka, an important rock formation. ‘Warlukurlangu
Jukurrpa’ (fire country Dreaming) lies to the west of
Yuendumu, on the way to Nyirrpi. You can see the ‘warlu’ (fire)
in the form of hundreds of red ‘mingkirri’ (termite mounds)
that rise out of the ground in this area.
Other Jukurrpa around Yuendumu include a ‘janganpa
Jukurrpa’ (brush-tailed possum [Tricosurus vulpecula]
Dreaming) associated with the hills to the north, and a ‘yankirri
Jukurrpa’ (emu [Dromaius novaehollandiae ] Dreaming)
associated with Ngarlikirlangu, a rock formation to the north. A
‘warlawurru Jukurrpa’ (wedge-tailed eagle [Aquila audax]
Dreaming) is associated with the Wakurlpa outstation and hills.
A very big ‘warna Jukurrpa’ (snake Dreaming) passes through
Mijirlparnta (Mission Creek), west of Yuendumu. This Jukurrpa
tells the story of a blind and crippled python, Yarripiri, who was
carried by the ‘kurdungurlu’ (custodians) of the Jukurrpa from
the south to the far north. This Jukurrpa is associated with the
important Jardiwarnpa conflict resolution ceremony.

All the sites around Yuendumu are owned and cared for by

different skin subsections and are associated with different
Jukurrpa. Some people are ‘kirda’ (owners) of the Jukurrpa,
and others are ‘kurdungurlu’ (custodians).
In Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography can be used to
represent the landscape around the area, the Jukurrpa, and
other elements. Pain􀆟ngs of Jukurrpa around Yuendumu can
include emu tracks, possum tracks, or eagle tracks. Wavy lines
are frequently used to represent water or fire, and concentric
circles can represent waterholes or camps.

Why Bamboo

Why Bamboo

• Naturally Organic - bamboo is grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Luxuriously soft - bamboo feels like silky cashmere.
• Sustainable - Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants, growing up to a metre in a day.
  Bamboo is a grass, so once cut it will regenerate quickly without the need for replanting (in the same way as your garden lawn).
  It grows very densely and so the yield per acre is excellent in comparison to cotton.
• Eco-friendly - one of the most positive things about bamboo is that it absorbs 35% more carbon dioxide than equivalent stands of trees.
  More bamboo would help to cut the globally rising levels of carbon dioxide and help in the fight against global warming. Bamboo is also biodegradable.
• Comfortable and Anti-Static – Fabric made from bamboo is incredibly soft and luxurious, and has an anti-static nature, so it sits well against your skin without clinging.
• Absorbent - bamboo absorbs up to 60% more water than cotton. This makes it an excellent choice for towels and bathrobes.
• Antibacterial – Bamboo is naturally and continuously antibacterial, staying fresh and odour free for longer.
• Breathable - the porous nature of the fibre makes it breathable and extremely comfortable against the skin.
• Thermo-regulating - keeps the wearer warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather.
• Hypoallergenic - bamboo's organic and natural properties make it non-irritating so perfect for extra sensitive skin.
• UV Protective – it cuts out 98% of harmful UV rays.
