Yalka Tjukurrpa

IRENE loves her women's business dreamings and here has set off a powerful example with the Bush Onion.

This depicts the Country, with its pathways and waterholes when the Bush Onion harvest season arrives with its celebration of song and dance.

The women collect the Bush Onion that grows around the waterholes and spreads over the desert country. These Yalka can be eaten raw or cooked in the hot sand next to the camp fire.
