This large rockhole is called Tjatunya and this is where I spent a lot of time as a boy.This place is fantastic for getting large witchetty grubs. The other waterholes near by are Nyuwinyin and also Tjalpunya that’s the place of the Perentie Man and the Sand Goanna Man who both travel around the area eating different bush foods. The other rockholes called Katatjaranya munu Antjiwaratjara which are small rockholes that only fill after rain and then people have to dig for water other times.
