Karlkun-Karlkun

Karlkun-karlkun is a jurnu (soak) located in a rocky area along the Karlamilyi River (Rudall River). Karlkun-karlkun is known for its abundance of minyarra (bush onion). Minyarra are a favoured bush tucker amongst the Martu, popular for their sweet, nutty taste and for the relative ease with which they are foraged. Typically, minyarra is collected in large quantities close to springs, and then shared and eaten over the following days. The minyarra plant is small and grass like, with edible tubers at the root. They can be eaten raw or cooked, and are harvested by first loosening the soil at their base with a pounding stone, and then pulling out the plant.
