Wanakiji, Bush Tomatoes, 41x61cm Denise BonneyAileen Long Acrylic on Canvas 41 x 61 cm "This is wanakiji, bush tomatoes. Family, we go around collecting bush tucker, with crow bar. Dig 'em up. We learn from big people, from parents dad and mum. We grew up on bush food, kanga berry, bush potato, I paint bush tuckers because I like to go out and collect them, sit out with the crowbar and dig the potato. And eat them, it's a nice taste."

When it's winter time and the flowers bloom up we know it's going to have fruit later
