Later Mulkun adopted John as her Wawa or brother, and gave him the name Langgurrk. They spent ten days together in the remote Blue Mud Bay region in Midawarr, the harvest season, when many of the little known root foods are ripe.

And since 2009 John Wolseley has also been making drawings, woodcuts and large works on paper about the same plants and landscape. A breakthrough moment was when John sent Mulkun some slabs of ancient Huon pine. She began to make these woodcuts most of which were later taken by John to his home studio in Victoria where he acted as her printmaker. This was the last block of wood which remained unused unƟl late in her life by which time she had moved on to the theme of meat ants Ŋäḏi living in the mounds guṉdirr of termites.

I have been back to Kuruyultu for visits but I never lived there again in my country. I think about it every day. Only my father knows all the stories for that country and he painted them too… all the men’s stories. I know the story of the wallaby mother and daughter which left me with a birthmark. That’s what I paint: the wallaby mother and daughter.’ – \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEunice Napanangka Jack\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ikuntji Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44238331085098,"sku":"","price":1360.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/products\/KURUYULTUIVBYEUNICENAPANANGKAJACK1.jpg?v=1676796136"},{"product_id":"bsg-gift-voucher","title":"BSG Gift Voucher","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake the guesswork out with one of our Gift Vouchers, available for any amount to suit all budgets.

Ŋalkan is an area on Ŋaymil land and sea between the Gurrumuru and Cato Rivers that run into the Arnhem Bay. Within this area is another watercourse that leads up into a sacred area of a freshwater spring or Milŋurr with special qualities called Balawurru. Dhangultji or Brolga are dancing here. Here Djanda the sacred goanna also swim in the lagoon created by the spring, their actions as they swim causing rippling patterns to be made on the surface that is covered by the totemic water weed Ḏarra (Hanguana malayana). Similarly the force of the water surging from under the ground ripples the surface. Ḻurr’yun is a Yolŋu word for the rippling flow of water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis plant forms floating forests in only a few very sacred locations. It is a broad leaf emergent plant that sits within the water and flowers in September with a vibrant yellow flower mass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDhangultji or Guḏurrku (Brolga) inhabit the adjacent floodplains in huge numbers during the late Dry. They drink from subterranean springs which emerge in the vast flat plains. A safe place to rest, mate and nest. In their avian form they are a manifestation of the Djaŋ’kawu Sisters’ party which travel throughout the Eastern top end, shape shifting and giving birth to the various clans of the Dhuwa moiety. In this case the Ŋaymil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOthers inhabit these waters. Warrukay or Murrukula the Barracuda, the power totem for the Ŋaymil. It spends most of its time in the salt waters. At certain times Warrukay will make its way up to Balawurru bringing the ‘contamination’ of muddied water with it. This has connotations of fertility. It is a place of fertility. Souls of Ŋaymil are both delivered to and from this point between worlds real and spiritual. As the sacred songs used in mortuary are cyclic, narrating the Ancestral Events of the original Creator Beings, so is the journey of the Yolŋu soul. This place is also shared with Dhudi Djapu clan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGunybi says that there is a large milŋurr or spring that is more public and this is connected to a smaller secret spring only visited by senior lawmen.

During the harvest season following the Wet they go hunting and always come back with different types of food: turtles, fish and freshwater snakes, and also bush foods like yams and berries. They can be seen in the sky of a night in April. Seven stars that come out together. Known in English as the Plaiedes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stars come in season when the food and berries come out, the stars will travel through the sky during that month until the season is over and they don’t come out until the next season. Yunupingu’s father told her about these seven sisters in a canoe, and the three Dhuwa moiety brothers who came behind them, following them (Orion’s belt). This constellation appears low in the Western sky in April and is in the shape of a canoe with a hunter standing up aiming a spear. They travel west. There are special stars in the sky which Yolngu call wishing stars. They give Yolngu bush tucker; they multiply the foods in the sea – that’s why Yolngu are happy to see them. That’s what Yunupingu’s father told her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Djulpan make it to their home over the Northern horizon and then cook their food. The smoke from their fires is sometimes visible. This appears to be a reference to actual visibility of such extreme events in Irian Jaya as volcanoes, dust storms and severe bushfires. Smoke or dust from such rare events is also mirrored in certain cloud formations that appear after the Sisters have left the sky. It is only then that the Yolngu of this dimension can set their customary annual fires. If fires are lit before this the Djulpan will become sad and jealous and cry. Their tears in the form of unseasonal rain will extinguish the presumptuous fires. Tears of rain known from the songs as Nyalala Gurmilili.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLittle more was revealed about this body of knowledge until another of Djakaŋu’s sisters, Eunice Djerrkŋu Yunupiŋu created a publication for the Yirrkala Literature Production Centre attached to the Yirrkala School.

They are a important song and story. Our fathers sang about the Djulpan. As they sang, the women would keen*, crying out the sacred words and names. That’s how we learnt this story and my sisters and I still cry these songs to this day, passing on the story of the Djulpan to the next generations.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Djulpan left the ancestral elders Nyiwuṉba and Rranyirranyi at the islands called Djakapurra, Gurrarri, Nalkuma, Dhakalŋa, Bandayŋa, Ŋarrayarri and Wärru. In ceremony you will hear the Gumatj people singing these Yirritja names. For the Dhuwa people, this is like the place called Burralku.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom that place across the sea they paddled in their canoe.

The Djulpan stars are only visible from Arnhem Land for part of the year. They arrive in the night sky during Miḏawarr, the harvest season.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Djulpan were the first to burn this land. They had hands of fire like the two ancestral beings Nyiwunba and Rranyirranyi.

There they rested for some time to gather their strength, then set off again along the coast, passing the Gumatj lands near Manydjarrarrŋa (Daliwuy Bay). They travelled passed the Dhuwa lands Bariŋurawuy and Ŋumuwuy (Turtle Beach). They passed by these Dhuwa places and landed at Gärriri (the Yirritja side of the creek at Rocky Bay). They paddled up the beach called Dhuraka (Rocky Bay) and this is where the Djulpan ended their journey.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt was there at Dhuraka that the Djulpan became people, there they became one group of Yirritja women. “This is the place,” they proclaimed. “This place, Dhuraka, Djeŋgawuy. We have reached our destination,” they said. In time their canoes turned to stone. Their names are Djulpan and Berrupirru and they stand in the water just off the beach at Dhuraka (Rocky Bay).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Djulpan represent Yolŋu women. They represent all women who live in harmony with nature, hunting and gathering the seasonal harvest of the land. When women go in search of bush food like yams and other root crops they recreate the story of the Djulpan. Women embody the law of the Djulpan, when collecting water chestnut, native cashew, native currajong, waterlily bulbs and many other kinds of food, fruit and seafood, Yolŋu women are the Djulpan.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThat is the old way of life, the way of those stars and the way of our people before when Yolŋu women travelled together just like those stars the Djulpan, the Seven Sisters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdition of 50.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre","offers":[{"title":"Unframed","offer_id":49417181561130,"sku":"","price":950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Framed","offer_id":49417181593898,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/files\/DjakanuYunupinu_TearsoftheDjulpan_5800-24.jpg?v=1729218119"},{"product_id":"samuel-o-malley-bellowing-fog","title":"Samuel O’Malley | Bellowing Fog","description":"","brand":"Samuel O'Malley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49417113534762,"sku":null,"price":1050.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/files\/BellowingFogO_Malley_453c6b2f-9036-41f6-8341-003fdea1347c.jpg?v=1729644061"},{"product_id":"ella-thrupp-odette-in-the-lake","title":"Ella Thrupp | Odette in the Lake","description":"","brand":"Brunswick Street Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49417264496938,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/files\/Ella3_27aa5745-493d-4d15-87a0-22a3f42b99d9.jpg?v=1729643920"},{"product_id":"ella-thrupp-celestial-bodies","title":"Ella Thrupp | Celestial Bodies","description":"","brand":"Brunswick Street Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49417265643818,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/files\/Ella2.jpg?v=1729643631"},{"product_id":"karen-rogers-flet-taiya-329-24","title":"Karen Rogers | Flet taiya 329-24","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 15\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1. \u003cem\u003eMela gon na la bush.\u003c\/em\u003e We are going out bush.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.\u003cem\u003e Bin abum flet taiya.\u003c\/em\u003e We had a flat tyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.\u003cem\u003e Tjeijimbat dat taiya.\u003c\/em\u003e Changing the tyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.\u003cem\u003e Mela gon egin. \u003c\/em\u003eWe are going again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.\u003cem\u003e Bin gedin na. \u003c\/em\u003eWe have arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6. \u003cem\u003eGugumbat daga. \u003c\/em\u003eCooking damper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ngukurr Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49513674768682,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0374\/2506\/files\/Karen_Rogers_Flettaiya329-24.jpg?v=1761965355"},{"product_id":"lena-willalang-80-mile-nyangumarta-warrarn-24-259","title":"Lena Willalang | 80 Mile (Nyangumarta Warrarn) 24-259","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\"This is the painting about my Warrarn (country).

Every day the women went out hunting, and every evening they bought home kuka (meat for cooking) for the men, who didn’t do anything but perform ceremonies. After a while the sisters became annoyed at the men’s laziness and decided to eat all the food they caught, leaving the men to fend for themselves. The Snake brothers were angry, and decided to punish the women for their insubordination. After lots of talking, the brothers agreed to change themselves into a Wanampi (a giant mythical water serpent, which also had the power to travel above and below ground) and play a practical joke upon the women that would cause them a great deal of hard useless labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThey went to a marsupial rat hole where the women had been digging and imitated the tracks of a large snake by rubbing the back of a spear thrower on the ground. Then they entered the hole, and one of them left out enough of his tail for the women to see. The younger sister became very excited when she saw the tracks of such a large snake and its tail popping out. She begun to pull the snake from its burrow, but the tail kept slipping from her grasp. The Wanampi teased the younger sister by allowing himself to be dragged out a few feet before wriggling himself free. Again and again he let himself be caught before wriggling free once more. Eventually the younger sister became tired, gave up and returned to her sister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn evening, when they were eating dinner, the younger sister told her elder sister how she had almost caught a carpet snake as big as a Wanampi, but couldn’t pull it from its burrow as it was too strong. The big sister said she would help her to catch it the next day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe next morning the women set off with their wana (digging sticks) and piti (large wooden bowl). They dug all day long, then the next day and the next, occasionally glimpsing the snake. Sometimes they caught a small carpet snake enough for their evening meal. The small carpet snakes were created by the Snake men so the women wouldn’t loose heart or grow hungry. They continued to dig after the Wanampi, but they never caught him. In their pursuit the women dug a trench from Aparatjara to Piltati, now a watercourse, approximately 25km long. Their burrow became deeper, and the women dug many subsidiary branches in their pursuit, creating the  gorge at Piltati, with its creeks and piles of rock that clutter the valley floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFinally the elder sister changed her tactics. She dug a pit ahead of the entrance to the burrow (now the largest rock hole at Piltati), uncovering the Wanampi before he could get away. She was so frightened by his huge coils slithering around her feet that she threw her digging stick, piercing the side of the Wanampi. The younger Wanampi left the burrow, chased and swallowed his wife, the younger sister. The injured snake (big brother) was angry and in great pain, so he caught, killed and ate the elder sister at the mouth of Piltati gorge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe big brother Wanampi is now a bloodwood tree with a dry limb sticking out at one side, and the trunk is covered with lumps and excrescences.
