The Yinirnti Jukurrpabean tree Dreaming is centred on Yarrungkanyi, a site near to Mount Doreen station to the West of Yuendumu.
At Yarrungkanyi, there is a large and unusual rock formation of round boulders on the top of hills. The seeds of the yinirnti tree are threaded onto wirriji / hair string to make necklaces for decoration and ceremonial use.
An old story says that when a yinirnti tree dies, men take a piece of the trunk and cut a slit in it. They then place dry marlu / kangaroo dung in the slit and rub a spear thrower against it to heat it. When it starts to smoke highly flammable grass commonly called kerosene grass, is placed against the dung and a fire is made in the slit.
The custodians of the Yinirnti Jukurrpa and the site at Yarrunkanyi are Japaljarri/Jungarrayi men and Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women.

Every piece is meticulously crafted to order, offering you a diverse range of options. This approach aligns with our commitment to sustainability, as we eliminate excess stock and prioritize your unique preferences.
