Yunpalara (Lake Blair) is a large lake bed west of Patjarr. It is more often dry than not, relying on rainfall to fill it. After rain, the lake is home to many water birds. The surface cracks as it dries. Ngirntaka (Perentie), travelling from Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route, came through this area and made Yunpalara on his way with a large sweep of his tail.
