ENQUIRE

Kulparn (wattle tree) grows seed pods that hang down everywhere from a low shrub. As a small child, my grandmother would get me to collect the seed pods so she could cook them on the fire. When the seed pods are all dried up, the old ladies collect them and yarrikanu (winnow) them with their coolaman, which are then ready for grinding into flour. I grew up on this bush tucker. That’s why I paint them.
