Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – Sand Goanna

When the 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.

Denise Ngwarraye Bonney – Bush Melon

On my grandmothers and grandfathers country after the rain I remember the smell of bush melons.    I know that they are sweet and ready to eat at this time.  They grow along the ground, I would lift the vine up and find all the yellow fruit.

Colleen Ngwarraye Morton – Altywart

When I was a little girl I would go and collect the seed from the altywart grass with my grandmothers.  They would teach us how to hang on to the tree and grind the seeds with our feet.  We would carry the seed in our coolamon back to the camp, then make damper cook it on the fire and eat with our families.
