Wandjina & Unguds by Gabriella Barunga
Wandjina is very respected by the people because it gave the law, culture and language. The Unguds represent the dreaming of the people which the Wandjina has given. The Ungud is given before birth to the father or the grandfather through dreams, or come as a living animal. This is considered as a gift from the Wandjina to the parent, the animal becomes a gift to the unborn child in which the child belongs to. Now when the child dies it goes back to being that animal. Today each and every individual has its own animal that belongs to them.
Gyorn Gyorns by Leah Umbagai
Wandjina he created the Earth and all life upon it. After he created the first human beings, the Gyorn Gyorn people. The Wandjina then told the Gyorn Gyorn to work the land and do well. The Gyorn Gyorns were confused and didn’t understand what the Wandjina wanted from them. The Wandjina was annoyed couldn’t control the Gyorn Gyorn. He travelled back to Wallungunder (Milky Way) to where Idjair was and asked if he could help with the creation. More Wandjinas came back and helped him in all areas in creations. As for the Gyorn Gyorns they became hunters and gathers.
Four Sisters by Donny Woolagoodja
They also show the dancing the traditional dancing amongst our tribes.This Painting represents the Jilinya (Bush Women). The Jilinya she captures the eyes of young and old men. She lures them by giving them whatever they wish to hunt or fish. She then lures them away further and further away by catching and hunting. This makes the man more eager to go back to that same place. Once she has pulled them away as far as she can then she’ll show herself to him. She takes them away and they are never seen again. Women can only hear and smell her but the men see her.

Boab Nut
Ngarinyin, Woddorda (Worrorra) and Wunambal are the three main languages of the North Kimberley language families. The Boab Tree is known by Wurnambal people as Jungurri, in Woddorda as Jungurim and in Ngarinyin as Jungulan jirri, Larrgari jirri and Malawudi jirri.
Boab or Larrgardi Trees (lt.: Adansonia Gregorii) – is an Australian native species only found in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. They are very recognisable due to their unusual shape – reminding one of a full-bodied bottle. Some trees are more then 1500 years old and can hold more than 100,000 litres of water in their trunks.
Every part of the tree is used either as a food-resource, as medicine or otherwise. Almost every part of the tree is edible from the young leaves and tubers to the internal fruit pods and seeds.
The tree produces beautiful large fragrant yellow flowers. Inside the fruit pod the fruit is naturally dried on the tree itself. This is the only fruit in the world that does this.
Indigenous artists carve designs into shell of the boab nut or paint it with different designs and children use it as a rattle. The designs on the nuts vary from Wandjina’s to different animals, like the Brolga, turtles, and fish to people’s faces and landscapes.
“Boab nut Carving was a way of expressing ones artistic skills. Aboriginal people across the Kimberley Region of Western Australia was carving along time ago it started with our ancestors.”
