The place depicted in this painting, Ngama, is located south of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. This Dreaming belongs to Nakamarra/Napurrurla women and Jakamarra/Jupurrurla men. This story describes the journey of Yarripiri, an ancestral warna' (snake). He travelled from Wirparku near Mt. Liebig to Yimparlu, and continued its way through the territories of Ngapanangka-jarra, Warlajirryi, Kummundu, Yinyirrinyi on to Ngama. Later Yarripiri travelled further north via Mijiriparnta (Mission Creek) and right through to the top end of Australia. Yarripiri was very sad as his family had left him behind at Wirparku. He was blind and crippled but he was determined to follow and search them out. He had to be carried. This was the job undertaken by the 'kurdungurlu' (ceremonial police) of the Dreaming: the Nangala/Nampijinpa women and Jangala/Jampilinpa men. Where Yarripiri's tail slumped and touched the ground creeks were formed, such as Mijiriparnta, west of Yuendumu. Yarripiri tracks and paths are often represented by arc shapes or curved lines depicted across the canvas.
