Fire Country Dreaming by Theo (Faye) Nangala Hudson
This Dreaming belongs to Warlukurlangu country to the south-west of Yuendumu, for which Jampijinpa/ Jangala men and Nampijinpa/ Nangala women have custodial responsibility. An old man 'Lungkarda' (centralian blue-tongued lizard) of the Jampijinpa skin group, lived on a hill with his two Jangala sons. The old man would feign blindness and send the two boys hunting in search of meat. While they were gone he would hunt and eat anything that he caught before they returned. One day the sons returned with a kangaroo that they caught after much tracking. Unfortunately the kangaroo was sacred to the 'Lungkarda', unbeknown to the boys. In anger the old man decided to punish his sons and the next time they went out, he put his fire stick to the ground and sent a huge bush fire after them which chased them for many miles at time propelling them through the air.
