Learning on ScreenAt Patanitja Clay Plan
- Synopsis
- The men are shown hunting emus from behind a hide. The women collect and grind ‘mulga’ seeds, collect grubs from the trunk of a gum tree and cook them, and collect the fruit of the ‘ngaru’. During the heat of the day (temperature is often well above 100 degrees F) everyone retires to the shade of their ‘wiltjas’ to rest.
