The main motif of this painting depicts the Wakirlpirri (Dogwood - Acacia coriacea) tree. Wakirlpirri is a very useful tree that grows on the sides of creek beds and near Mulga trees. The seeds can be eaten raw or they can be cooked on the fire and a deliciously sweet drink called Yinjirrpi is made from the seeds when they have been dried. The wood can be used to make Karli (boomerangs), other weapons and dancing boards for ceremony and is good wood for burning on the fire - rain cannot extinguish burning Wakirlpirri wood. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements. The Jukurrpa travels from Jarrarda-Jarrayi through to Puturlu (Mount Theo) west of Yuendumu. This Jukurrpa belongs to Japanangka and Japangardi men, and Napanangka and Napangardi women.

The country associated with this Jukurrpa is Mina Mina, a place far to the west of Yuendumu, which is significant to Napangardi/Napanangka women and Japangardi/Japanangka men. All of them are the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area. The Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled to the east gathering food, collecting ‘ngalyipi’ (snake vine [Tinospora smilacina]) and performing ceremonies as they travelled. The women began their journey at Mina Mina where ‘karlangu’ (digging sticks) emerged from the ground. Taking these implements the women travelled east creating Janyinki and other sites. Their journey took them far to the east beyond the boundaries of Warlpiri country. The ‘ngalyipi’ vine grows up the trunks and limbs of the ‘kurrkara’ (desert oak [Allocasuarina decaisneana]) trees. ‘Ngalyipi’ is a sacred vine to Napangardi and Napanangka women that has many uses. It can be used as a ceremonial wrap, as a strap to carry ‘parrajas’ (wooden bowls) that are laden with bush tucker and as a tourniquet for headaches.

This Jukurrpa belongs to men and women of the Jangala/Nangala and Jampijinpa/Nampijinpa subsections. Pamapardu is the Warlpiri name for the "flying ants" or termites that build the large termite mounds (Mingkirri), found throughout Warlpiri country. After rains the ants emerge from their nests to fly to a new home. They subsequently discard their wings when they find and enter a new mound. The Jukurrpa depicted in this painting shows the journey taken by an ancestral Pamapardu man called Wirliyapirda from country near Utopia to a site known as Warntungurru near to Nyirrpi to the southwest of Yuendumu. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements and short bars are often used to represent the Pamapardu's wings and concentric circles represent the Mingkirri mounds. Termites are eaten by goannas and other lizards and by Yapa (Warlpiri people) Women collect them to eat by hitting the Mingkirri with digging sticks and also by collecting the wingless Pamapardu that fall to the ground outside of the Minkirri.

Ngapa Jukurrpa (Water Dreaming) – Puyurru Two Jangala rainmakers sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm. It travelled across the country, with the lightning striking the land. The storm met up with another storm from Wapurtali, then was picked up by a ‘kirrkarlan’ (brown falcon) who dropped the storm at Purlungyanu, where it created a giant soakage. At Puyurru the bird dug up a giant rainbow serpent, ‘warnayarra’ and the snake carried water to create the large lake, Jillyiumpa.
