Lily Karedada was born of Woonambal parents in her father’s country, Woomban-go-wangoorr, around the Prince Regent River. She belongs to the Jirrengar (owlet nighthar) moiety and her specific totems are the turkey, possum and white cockatoo. Her bush name, Mindindil, means bubbles, referring to the time when her father ‘found’ her spirit coming from the water. He looked down into the spring water on top of a hill, saw bubbles coming out and announced, Ah what this one here, he come out bubble? Ah! Might be kid.

Lily specialises in representations of Wandjina executed in a refined style, full of subtle tonal variations. Sometimes the Wandjina is shown emerging from a veil of dots (rain) which also inundate the body. Both the outlines and dotting are far more precise than the vigorous gestured marks of sister in law Rosie Karedada. A doffed ground is also characteristic of Lily’s depictions of totemic specis and the natural features of her country.
