Pikilyi is an important natural spring and water-hole at Mt Doreen Station in the Northern Territory. Pikilyi is the home of two rainbow serpents, a married couple. The wife was a Napananka skin group and the husband a Japangardi, a taboo relationship in the Walpri culture. The serpents are the "kirda' traditional owners of that country.
 
Artist: Theo (Faye) Nangala Hudson
 
The Handicraft - Kare-e-Kalamdani. 
Naqqashi refers to the centuries old hand painting of Kar-e kalamdani (paper machie) goods. The hand crafted items are skilfully painted by artisans who have intergenerational training. There are many steps in the process, creating pulp from recycled paper, molding and finishing the shapes, hand painting and varnishing.
