At the end of the airstrip at Baniyala is a small well of freshwater. This well, called Guyapi, was made by Gurritjpi as he travelled to the nearby point called Lulumu. Gurritjpi became a a rock there near the reef. We use that as a platform for fishing. The well was used for many years for fresh water and also for the Bukulup (cleansing ceremony) after a big ceremony when we all wash ourselves clean.
