Bush Tucker, Bush Art, Bush Life'. Welcome to my country... Jowelbinna, Cape York'. The land of the Guguyalangi - my Grandmother's people. This is a stunning area full of Ancient Rock Art and Traditional Dreaming sites. Join me as I visit there areas, taking a look at traditional implements such as Boomerangs, the Didgeridoo and how to make a spear in the method used by my ancestors. Along the way there's some fascinating and delicious Bush Tucker to eat and a Permaculture Bushfire made in the traditional method of rubbing two sticks together. It's a slice of life in the oldest living culture in the world.
