STORY
This dreaming tells about the many different trees in the area around Lajamanu. They are used for many things including medicine and a food source. The women gather fruit, nuts, bark and make coolamons from the trunks.
For example the ngarkirdirri tree we make watiya (digging/fighting stick) and we can also find laaju (witchetty grub) here with this tree.
