Label Text:In ancestral times a group of women camped at the site of Ngaminya, just to the southwest of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia. They collected the edible berries known as kampurarcpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale. The rocky outcrop at Ngaminya is said to have been formed from mounds of these berries.
