Bai Bai Napangarti

Bai Bai has depicted some of her grandparent’s country, located south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. The country depicted here is known as Yunpu. Yunpu is the territory of the ancestral cannibal people, the Yunpu. The Yunpu were all white, skeleton-like people, who would hunt people, bring them back to this place and kill them and eat them. The country here is centred around a large swamp named Warranpa. The swamp is shown as the inner circle while the other colours represent the shifting water levels. Surrounding Warranpa are tali (sandhills) and quite stony country.
