Kurratjiti is West of Patjarr at this place there are two rockholes and the ladies collect the seeds of an Acacia tree, which the women beat from the branches, then winnow to separate the seed from the husk. Once the seed is cleaned, the women grind it up mixing it with water to make a paste called uingkunpa which is eaten raw.

The women travel to Yurnimpa where there are two rockholes where pintalpa (bush tomato) grows.
