Puli Murpu refers to the Musgrave Ranges behind Amata Community, where rockholes fill after rain. Also after rain, Kaliny-Kalinypa [Honey Grevillea], also called Ultukunpa, flower on the sandy plains. The nectar is used to make a cherished sweet drink by soaking blossoms in a billy can of water, or simply by sucking the nectar from the blossoms. Morning is the best time to collect.
