“This story about all that manmeh (food), that fruit and root one. Its about how they grow. When we going walking we can see that manmeh, bush tucker, like all that different yam. We going with family, digging with digging stick. Sometime manwareh (bad), sometime manmak – good one, but that manmeh all everywhere and we eating all that bush tucker underground.” – Jennifer Wurrkidj
