1 The Travels of Wipaṛu the Whip Snake John C. McEntee , 2017 single work criticism
— Appears in: Language, Land and Song : Studies in Honour of Luise Hercus 2017; (p. 358-376)

'In this paper, five Whip Snake stories are described, based on the author’s long term study of the language and culture of the Adnyamathanha people who lived in the northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Analysis of their content and linguistics enables a deeper understanding of the Aboriginal landscape of the Flinders Ranges, and builds on the work by Mountford (1937-1942) and Tunbridge (1988). These stories are presented in a generalised order from north to south as they appear in the landscape (see map).' (Introduction)
