Warlpiri women’s ceremonies are centred on lengthy songlines which contain verses holding intimate knowledge of the environment and interconnected cultural practices. These practices and the knowledge they maintain have sustained Aboriginal populations and the environment in the Tanami desert region of Australia over millennia. Indeed, for Aboriginal peoples across Central Australian communities, singing traditions are the primary means by which place-specific biocultural knowledge is passed on through generations, seasons and shifting social and ecological contexts. In this article, we discuss two Warlpiri women's songs relating to the rain (Ngapa yawulyu), and fire (Warlukurlangu yawulyu). The knowledge and practices surrounding these songs reinforce and reproduce intimate interconnections between these two environmental phenomena, the social groups to which they associated and associated cultural practices. We argue that attention to and support for the ongoing performance of Warlpiri songs enhances broader understandings biocultural knowledge crucial for survival and may be able to contribute to the challenges surrounding contemporary climate crises.
