Artwork location: France
The Women were collecting and cooking 'janmarda' when they saw an old jungurrayi called Warungurla who had been travelling from the west. He was hiding in the bushes, watching the women and wanting to make love to them. He had an enormous 'ngirnti' (penis) that was long like a hose and that entered the ground and came up near to the women.
They were frightened of him and tried to hide. When they saw his 'ngirnti' they beat it ith their 'karlangu' (digging stick), killing the old jungurrayi, who can still be seen today in the form of a large stone figure at Purrupurru.

Presentation
In 1983 she married Lawrence Jangala Watson and shortly after they moved to Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community located 290 km north-west of Alice Springs in the NT of Australia. She has 4 children, three sons and one daughter. Her second son is a Yuendumu Police aid. Jill worked at the local Centre link office for 12 years, working from 1994 to 2010. She has been painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, since 1992.
She paints her father’s Jukurrpa stories, Dreamings which relate directly to her land, its features and animals. These stories have been passed down to her from her Grandmother and Grandfather and their parents before them for millennia. Jill has exhibited in Group Exhibitions in Florida, USA; Osaka, Japan; and Alice Springs, Australia. When she’s not painting she likes to go hunting for Bush tucker and taking her Aunty, Judy Napangardi Watson, goanna hunting.
