Mulgra Jimmy Nerrimah (c.1924-) is a highly respected Walmajarri elder and medicine 
man. His country is around Wayampajarti a Jila (permanent waterhole) in the 
North Western area of the Great Sandy Desert.

He was born ca 1924 near a 
waterhole called Wili, at a swamp called Miyitinynanguwu. He left the bush 
possibly in the early sixties and, like many Aboriginal men of his generation from this part of Australia, spent most of his life working on as a stockman.

Mulgra has been making artefacts since he was a child but only started 
painting in the early 1990s. This is a beautiful print mapping the locations of key waterholes.
