STORY
"Bush flowers and some bush medicine to boil them and share. If you have cough, and then for sores and scabies, scratching skin. Some [people] make them into a fat, rub it on skin and wash self with it.
The rain come, make them grow. We go collecting seeds in buckets. Little bit of water standing here. When the rain stops - mud was cracking here."
