Thank you for sharing that with me. 😊🌱 It’s really interesting to hear about your childhood in Carnarvon and Yamatji Country. The red soil, dry climate and summer storms sound very familiar in some parts of Uganda too. I’d love to learn more about the nature and biodiversity you experienced there growing up. 🌍🌿 What was the natural environment around you like as a child?

@Abelvicent@mastodon.social I have this painting in my home by an aboriginal man, Stephen Pickett, of three women and some birds foraging for these grubs. The women have long sticks for digging them out of the roots. In their language the grubs are called Bardy and they eat raw or cooked a little on a camp fire. The black and white birds in their language are called Culbarby. I can't find if there is a link between the words. We call the birds magpies.
