Munhala Dhamarrandji’s incredible bark paintings depict the Djambarrpuyŋu clan design of Batjimurruŋu, the shellfish of the mangroves that climb the aerial roots as the tide comes in.

The design relates to the Buckingham Bay area of Gurula Dhulmuwandany. This place and design, songs and the shellfish itself are related to the songlines of the Djaŋ’kawu sisters of the Dhuwa moiety.

'Ḏarra' sits proudly in the middle of 'Mali' The Reflection/My Spirit' by Gunybi Ganambarr. It's fitting that "the progenitor of the Found movement" be the first to the first to create a metal larrakitj from galvanised steel, standing a colossal 3.6metres tall.

On the relationship Ḏarra has to the Gurrumuru and Cato rivers:
"Here, Djanda, the sacred goanna also swim in the lagoon created by the spring, their actions as they swim, causing rippling patterns to be made on the surface that is covered by the totemic water weed Ḏarra. Similarly, the force of the water surging from under the ground ripples the surface. Ḻurr'yun is a Yolŋu word for the rippling flow of water."
