BUSH TUCKER AT PARONELLA

While staying at Paronella Park ( LOOK AT THE BLOG BEFORE THIS ONE), we went on a bush tucker tour to find out what plants the aboriginal people made use of in the bush.

The first plant we saw was a ginger plant and the leaves are used in cooking. Skin didn't like the smell of this plant!

These flowers are crushed and rubbed on insect bites. I don't think bananas are bitten by insects.

Skin saw a painting on the end of a log. It was made by rubbing and

wetting different coloured rocks.PARONELLA PARK 031

 

Here is Skin sitting outside an aboriginal shelter made of bent sticks

and leaves.PARONELLA PARK 033

When we passed the wishing well in the park, we both made a wish.

I wonder what Skin wished for?  What do YOU think?
