Anangu tjuta are moving around, moving between waterholes and creeks, and looking for food. They go out in the daytime, looking around the country and looking through the bush. They look for food and bring what they find back to the kids at the camp. When they finish the water at one site, they move on to look for the next waterhole. Knowing where to find water is a special knowledge. There is water in a lot of unlikely places. There are creeks, waterholes, rockholes, soakages and springs, and these sites hold kapi wiru (good water)."
