Near the Papunya airstrip, there is a largish ground hollow that has had water in it on the occasions work has brought me to the Community. In the middle of one of the larger pools is a shrub that provides a lovely launching place for birds wanting a drink. The Diamond Doves and Zebra Finches use it, as well as a variety of other birds including the Rainbow Bee-eater.
