STORY
This dreaming is about the plentiful bush tomatoes that our people collected all over our country. The ripe tomatoes are found everywhere. There are two sorts of tomatoes, one large and one small. Sometimes the people use a stick to push the seeds out and then dry them in the sun or near a fire. My grandmother sometimes cooked them in the fire for us to eat
