During the Summer months kedgadrr (bush tomatoes) and il quarldrr (bush banana) are especially bountiful at this time of year, bush foods that are found in Alyawarr country, the land of the people of Ampilatwatja.
Communicating bush foods through painting is an important way of teaching younger generations and maintaining a strong culture.
