Sid's Country ~ July 2004
We were lucky enough to meet some traditional owners and be invited onto their land.
We were shown some traditional techniques, such as digging for witchety grubs and honey ants.
Digging for witchety grubs
Up close
Witchety grubs are found in the root of Acacia (Mulga) shrubs. The enlarged root gives away their presence.
Home sweet home...
They aren't really dirty or disgusting like most people imagine
Digging for honey ants was much harder work. It required incredible perseverence.
In the heat of the day it was very impressive
The hard work paid off....what a sight!!
Honey ants
We crossed this creek to get to our campsite
We were spoilt again with local crayfish
One of the many beaut swimming holes
Terrific country
