The site of this Jukurrpa (Dreaming) is Ngarlu, a pirili (rock hill) south east of Yuendumu. It is where a
Jungarrayi man fell in love with a Napangardi woman: A taboo relationship under the Warlpiri skin group
system. Jungarrayi, Japaljarri, Jupurrula and Jampijinpa men were travelling east to Kurpurrulu. A Jungarrayi
man called Lintyipilinti watched a woman from where he sat whilst she was urinating. He was so impressed with
what he saw that he decided to woo her. His imprint has been left in the rocks which reminds the people of his
thinking. Whilst he was sitting at Yumurruluwanu he spun some Wirriji (hair string) and sung a love song. He
also sent a bird to the Napangardi woman with the magic to entice her. When the two met at Ngarlu they made
love and as a result of the taboo relationship were turned to stone. They are seen in the rocks at Ngarlu, a long
water hole with a broken boulder reminds the people of this union.
