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, and is known as a good hunting area. In particular, parnajarrpa (goanna), wild cats, and lunki (witchey grub) are found in abundance here. In the wantajarra (wet season) the dry lakes in the region fill with water.
