Tjunti, Aboriginal cave site in Northern Territory, Australia.
The cave is situated near the Hull River, which cuts through the Petermann Ranges, forming a natural passage in the mountainous terrain.
In January 1931, gold prospector Harold Lasseter spent 25 days in this cave during his unsuccessful search for a claimed rich gold deposit.
The location holds deep connections to Aboriginal traditions, with rock art and cultural practices maintained by local Pitjantjatjara families through generations.
Visitors need to travel 41 kilometers along Tjukaruru Road to reach the site, requiring advance planning due to its remote desert location.
The cave contains several water sources called soaks, which provided essential sustenance for both indigenous inhabitants and travelers in this arid region.
