The rockhole and country of Kuruyurltu lies to the west of Tjukurla, over sand hill county. Kuruyurltu itself lies in lovely sandstone country. In the Tjukurrpa, the wati Kuurrku (Owl man) fled north from Kuruyurltu to Lupurl and later on to Lajamanu, after nearly being attacked by the Tingarri men.

The Tingarri people were travelling east from the west, they stay at Kuruyurltu and travelled on to Tjukurla and Tjarlirli. Someone threw a boomerang towards Kuruyurltu and made a hole in the hill there. The women were afraid of the boomerang and ducked down onto the ground when they heard it flying towards them. The Punyunyuffingarri women are seen in the natural landscape as rocks at Tutjupupapupa while the men are trees.

Tjawina used to collect water from Kuruyurltu rockhole. She had to climb up the hill and down into the gully, collect the water and carry the water back up and then down the hill for her mum, dad and siblings.
