This is the country north from Tjuntjuntjara. Tali tjuta (many sand dunes) all along here. As you travel north past Ilkurlka you reach the country I am responsible for around Kuru Ala (located in the Great Victoria Desert of WA). There are small rock holes along the way, which provided much needed water as people traditionally walked this country on foot. Lennard was born several hundred kilometres north of Tjuntjuntjara at Kuru Ala in the heart of the Great Victoria Desert.

He is the senior custodian for Kuru Ala an immensely important site in the region. It is a ‘Women’s Site” holding the Kungkarangkalpa Tjukurpa – Seven Sisters story. As a man, there are places he cannot go but he still holds authority and cultural responsibilities for Kuru Ala.

Before reaching Kuru Ala there are many sand dunes to pass over. Lennard has great knowledge for this country and lists the following rock holes; Purpurnya, Kapi Wiyatjara, Nyuman, Kamanti, Tuwan and Wayatji.
