The Wakirlpirri or Dogwood tree is a very useful tree that grows on the sides of creek beds and near Mulga trees. The seeds can be eaten raw or cooked on the fire and also made into a deliciously sweet drink called Yinjirri. The wood from the tree is used to make boomerangs, other weapons and dancing boards for ceremonies and is good for burning on the fire as rain cannot extinguish burning Wakirlpirri wood. This Dreamining travels from Jarrarda-Jarrayi through to Puturlu (Mount Theo) west of Yuendumu, and belongs to the Japanangka and Japangardi men, and the Napanangka and Napangardi women.
