Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – Arlewatyerr (Sand Goanna)
When the arlewatyerr (goannas) run into the hole we block the front and find it through the top of the ground. We use the digging stick to hold it and we then find and grab the tail and pull it out and then hit it on the head to kill it.
We take back to camp, clean them and cook it in the hot coals.
I like to hunt for sand goanna. This is a good food to catch and cook for me and my family

Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – My Grandmothers Country
I still hunt my Grand Mothers country for goanna, bush medicine and yams.
I hunt all year round, hunting and walking through the country makes me happy. When I look at the distant hills I can feel my grandmother. Bush flowers are everywhere.
Painting and printing my grandmother’s country reminds about those times.

Mindirr (Pandanus Bag)
Miṉḏirr (dilly bags) are made from gunga (Pandanus spiralis), baḻgurr (kurrajong) and natural bush dyes. The body of the miṉḏirr is made from gunga, and the handles from baḻgurr. Once the gunga fronds and baḻgurr bark have been collected, they are stripped and prepared then boiled with the dyes.
Miṉḏirr were used traditionally for every day utilitarian purposes, particularly collecting bush foods such as bäḻtji (yam). Traditionally, the baḻgurr handles were worn across the forehead while the body of the miṉḏirr sat at the back, between the shoulder blades making it easily accessible when collecting ŋatha (food).
