Kakaru is the Walmajarri word for freshwater mussels. They were an important food source when people lived a traditional lifestyle and were dug from the sand in waterways near the Great Sandy Desert. They are still enjoyed today. This work shows the tracks and tunnels of the buried mussel. “You gotta feel ‘im like that you know. You can get ‘im all a time - dry time ‘e hide langa mud. Can boil ‘im in billycan... cook ‘im in bark... put ‘im la fire, cover ‘im up”. |
