Salt Lake at Kulyakartu
Kulyakartu is a large area in the far north of the Martu homelands, near the Percival Lakes region of Western Australia’s Great Sandy Desert. Kulyakartu is mostly flat grass Country where there is very good hunting. In particular parnajarrpa (goanna), wild cats, and lunki (witchetty grub) are found in abundance here. In the wantajarra (winter time) the dry lakes in the region fill with water. Kulyakartu is part of Ngalangka’s ngurra (home Country, camp), the area which she knew intimately and travelled extensively with her family in her youth. Because there is no permanent water available at Kulyakartu Ngalangka’s family would come here annually following the wantajarra (wet season).
