Kampurarrpa Piti is the name of a rock hole where water can be found. Kampurarrpa means bush tomato or raisin while piti is the word for hole. The rock hole was given this name because it is where Kampurarrpa grows.
Traditionally the people would go there for the Kampurarrpa and water. They used to tap on the many round rocks to scare off the birds that were eating the Kampurarrpa.
