This painting depicts Puyurru, a site west of Yuendumu where mulju (soakages) occur within usually dry creek beds. The custodians (kirda) of this Country are Nangala and Nampijinpa women, together with Jangala and Jampijinpa men. The narrative centres on two Jangala rainmakers who sang up a vast storm that travelled across the land from east to west, initially accompanying the Pamapardu Jukurrpa (Termite Dreaming). At Warlura, a gecko named Yumariyumari blew the storm onwards, unleashing lightning and drawing in the Kurdukurdu Mangkurdu Jukurrpa (Children of the Clouds Dreaming).
As the storm moved through Country, it shaped the landscape: hills were formed at Ngamangama from baby clouds, and long cloud forms were driven into the ground at Jukajuka, now visible as rock formations. The Termite Dreaming continued west to Nyirripi, while the Water Dreaming shifted south and north, passing over Mikanji where it was carried further by a kirrkarlanji (brown falcon). At Puyurru, the falcon dug up a giant warnayarra (rainbow serpent), which carried water to form the large lake Jillyiumpa.
From Puyurru, the Water Dreaming continued through a sequence of named sites before travelling into Gurindji Country to the north. In contemporary Warlpiri painting, this Jukurrpa is conveyed through established iconography: short dashes represent mangkurdu (clouds), flowing lines depict ngawarra (flood waters), and small circles signify mulju (soakages) and creek beds.
