Still looking for marna mapa, still eating it too.

And I got ilia (emu) arra (kangaroo), ramia (goanna), perentie, paraltja (lerp) on the gum tree here, langua (bush banana), lalitja (root), akia (berry), Urrarlpa from up in the hills, pmurpa (quandong), marna raatninga (bush passionfruit), Kupaarta (bush plum), mpaltjarta (bush orange), ngalta (bush cucumber), ngaraaka (bush bean), lupa (another bush bean from acacia that camels like too), katjara (bush tomato), and tjurrka (yellow, red, orange bush fig that grows on the rocks) and arrkarnka (like coconut).

Bush tuckers that people eat, used to eat old people. And the kids. But we still eating it, bush tucker. We still looking for it, collecting it, me and my daughter, my niece, Roxanne, every weekend we take kids and look for bushtucker. And we grow up and my kids been grow up now. My grandkids on bushtucker. And we still looking for it.
