Kapitu Kapitu depicts a series of undergound water sites that belong to Ngipi's husband, which he and Ngipi used to travel between, "kapitu-kapitu, water to water. Yirrilngya, Patatanja--a large claypan, Tjangi--a site with four rockholes, Kutjarranya and Kurrutjiti--one deep hole with cold water. The Wandantjarri area feature a big, deep hold which Tingarri people (men, women & children) drank from and camped near. One time a wedge tailed eagle (Warlawurru) with a face like a man swooped down and took a young child (titji). That is part of the tjukurpa at this site.
