Wanakiji, Bush Tomatoes, 41x61cm Barkly ChristmasAileen Long Acrylic on Canvas 41 x 61 cm "This is wanakiji, bush tomatoes. Family, we go around collecting bush tucker, with crow bar. Dig 'em up. We learn from big people, from parents dad and mum. We grew up on bush food, kanga berry, bush potato, I paint bush tuckers because I like to go out and collect them, sit out with the crowbar and dig the potato. And eat them, it's a nice taste."

And we find the bush medicine as well
