Jatarrngara
Jatarrngara is located along the Karlamilyi River (Rudall River); the birthplace for Jatarr Lily Long, and the site for which she was named. This area forms part of her ngurra (home Country, camp), the area which she knew intimately and travelled extensively with her family in her youth.
Karlamilyi is Warnman Country, located in the very heart of the Martu homelands. The region is situated south west of the Great Sandy Desert and north east of the Little Sandy Desert. According to two of the central Martu Jukurrpa (Dreaming) narratives, the Karlamilyi River and its surrounds were created by the ancestral beings Jila Kujarra (Two Snakes) and the Wati Kujarra (Two Goanna Men) as they travelled across the lands.
