Pansy Napangardi

This is the site generally known as Vaughan Springs, which has a number of permanent springs in the surrounding rocky outcrop. The area is often referred to by the name of the main spring which is Pikilyi – a spring which flows into a reed surrounded rock hole which in turn flows out along a reed and tea tree lined creek. It was a Warlpiri people’s major fallback water source for survival in times of severe drought. Pansy has shown this site with Bush Banana Dreaming – a representation of vines and fruit.
