[5] In 2005, Mununggurr was hit by a car and sustained severe head injuries,[5] leaving her needing a wheelchair and unable to use her right hand to paint.
[2] Her favoring of acrylics was an effect of the accident, with NATSIAA curators agreeing she could no longer grind traditional ochres used for bark painting with her limited dexterity in her right hand.
[1] In 2018, Mununggurr, while working at the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre, created a large bark painting for The Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA).
[2] Mununggurr's late brother and her uncle, Mandawuy Yunupingu, were founders of the Yolngu music group, Yothu Yindi.
[10] Her mother, Gulumbu Yunupingu, is represented through the stars which show what she had painted on the ceiling of the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris, France.
[10] Other collections containing her work include: Mununggurr's first solo exhibition, Mirdawarr Dhulan, at the Alcaston Gallery in Melbourne (2011), was named after her experience driving through remnants of burnt-out forest around King Lake with her partner Tony, where she noticed green shoots sprouting from burned trees.
[8][13] Many of her paintings at the exhibition depict stories that had been passed down to her by her parents and Yolngu elders; one of her paintings shows the story of the Makassans—told to Mununggurr by her mother—who traded tobacco with the Yolngu for centuries and fished off the coast of Arnhem Land for sea cucumber, until their fishing was banned by the Australian government in 1907, over fifty years before Mununggurr was born.
