BUSH TUCKER
In the centre are three people sitting at their campfire. They have digging sticks and coolamons at their side showing that they are females. They are probably talking of the various foods available in the surrounding lands. The honey ants, small lizards, snakes and witchetty grubs are all shown, along with some bush fruits. The footprints wandering through the paintings show the women as gatherers of these foods. -
