Bush Tucker

My mate (whose just arrived from Brissy) and I went bush with some locals and tried living of the land, the way they do it - although I have not made any attempt to get pics of our eating the bush tucker for various excuses you would give no never mind, but we did enjoy ourselves.....................

The tractor ride (because the roads only accessible by tractor and not a 4WD landcruiser [who said that!!]):


On the way we saw a big group of local men pulling three canoes down 5km to the main Aramia river (thats quite a distance to cover, come to think of it)



















On this day our local boys were lucky to have a Papuan Black snake which was 1.5m long and very very dead:

















Then they came across a goanna, not so huge they said but would provide substantial protein for lunch,......... yeah right!!!

Everything eventually got cooked (sago and rice included) and layed out -

Then everyone went straight into eat.........................................hungry we all were! who says no...........

After that we all packed on the tractor and rode down to camp, shower, real food and sleeeeeep.



















That's when I started feeling funny and thought I was going colour blind and checked, but it was no joke - I was colour blind (you seeing the same????)

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
