Goanna Dreaming by Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer
This Jukurrpa tells the story of a Japangardi man named Wamaru who lived at jarrardajarrayi near a soakage called Juntangkalpa. He travelled south to Yarripilangu and approved a group of 'karnta' (women) that were sitting down in a circle there. He wanted to woo a Nungarrayi woman named Yurlkurinyi who was the wrong skin for him. By tribal law, this woman was his mother-in-law and their relationship would be taboo.
The Japangardi man wooed the Nungarrayi woman and they went up the hill at Yarripilangu where they made love. The earth there turned to 'ngunjungunju' (white ochre) and the man turned himself and all the 'karnta' (women) into 'wardapi' (goannas). The Japangardi then eventually brought the Nungarrayi women back to Purturlu to live, even though they were the wrong skin for each other.
White ochre is still found on top of the hill at Yarripilangu and is used today for love magic and for ceremonial decoration. There's also a cave where you can see the shape of a goanna entering. There are beautiful groundwater springs on the east side of the Yarripilangu hill. A number of important Jukurrpa associated with men's' initiation ceremonies pass through Yarripilangu: these include 'karnta Jukurrpa' (women's' Dreaming), 'ngalyipi Jukurrpa' (snake vine [Tinospora smilacina] Dreaming), 'wati-jarra Jukurrpa' (two men Dreaming), and 'witi Jukurrpa, (ceremonial pole Dreaming).
