In September, when we are looking for gum from the Blue Gum Tree, we walk through the spinifex country. We pick the gum when it is crystal colour, and we eat it, or put it into hot water to make a sweet drink.

This is the reeds and the river. When the river is flowing the reeds are always growing lots. When we go fishing we use a reed to carry our catch. We call this fish from the river our Milinyjagas. That’s a fresh water trout.
