This morning we had some didgeridoo lessons, Tara was the only one out of all of us that could play it. Today we went to Desert Park. We listened to an Aboriginal talk about their life in the desert. There are some plants that they use for medicine, for example there was one spiky plant that use like acupuncture to heal worts. You put spikes all around it but not on the wort. There were also plants that they use for food. We tasted bush tomatoes – we didn’t really like them they were too strong. We also tasted little tiny onions. They have this big stone that they use for a grinder to grind seeds for bread. They use a tennis ball size stone to rub against the big stone to grind. Next we went to watch a wild bird free flying show. This was amazing how they could get wild birds to come and fly around when they wanted them to. At the show we saw an Echidna as well. There was also a nocturnal house with animals like Bilbys, Marsupials and reptiles and owls.
