Kularti Claypan

Kularti is a claypan located west of Mamunara (Canning Stock Route Well 28). During the pujiman (traditional, desert dwelling) period, Kularti  was primarily used as a camping site in the wantajarra (wet season), when the claypan filled with kapi (water). At this time, knowledge of water sources was critical for survival, and today Martu Country is still defined in terms of the location and type of water. Each of the hundreds of claypans, rockholes, waterholes, soaks and springs found in the Martu desert homelands is known by name, location, quality and seasonal availability through real life experience and the recounting of Jukurrpa (Dreaming) narratives.
