Originally from Yuendumu, Julie NANGALA is the daughter of the famous Aboriginal painter Dorothy NAPANGARDI, who gradually introduced her to her art before she herself began to paint her own vision of the mysteries of the Dreamtime, which she had come to possess.

The Dream talks about how the Great Ancestor Lizard lit a fire to punish his two sons for refusing to share a kangaroo they had killed while hunting.

The fire was followed by rains that made the land fertile and encouraged the growth of food plants.
