Lawrence has painted Wati Kutjara, which is a major Spinifex site on the northern boundary of the Spinifex Lands. From
Pukara Two Men (Wati Kutjara), a father and a son travel across the country on initiation business. As a child the son was
teased and grew up to have a menacing look in his eyes. The people were scared and appealed to the father to take him
away as he had become dangerous. One day the son arose early and in the morning fog and set a trap for the people,
luring them in close with the smell of kaliny-kalinypa and ultultkunpa, sweet foods. As people came close the son ate
them. To this day people approach the rock hole here with great care making sure the snakes are settled down with
smoke first. |

The site depicted is Pirlinyarnu (Mt. Farewell), about 165 km west of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. Two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm that collided with another storm from Wapurtali at Mirawarri. A ‘kirrkarlanji’ (brown falcon) carried the storm further west from Mirawarri. The two storms travelled across the country from Karlipirnpa, a ceremonial site for the water Dreaming near Kintore. Along the way the storms passed through Juntiparnta. The storm eventually became too heavy for the falcon. It dropped the water at Pirlinyarnu, where it formed an enormous ‘maluri’ (claypan). A ‘mulju’ (soakage) exists in this place today. Whenever it rains today, hundreds of ‘ngapangarlpa’ (bush ducks) still flock to Pirlinyarnu. In many paintings of this Dreaming, short dashes are often used to represent ‘mangkurdu’ (clouds), and longer, flowing lines represent ‘ngawarra’ (flood waters). Small circles are used to depict ‘mulju’ (soakages) and river beds. |
