Cooked in the ashes


The Magpie Goose was gutted, skinned, then the frame split. To cook the frame was laid down “insides” first on the hot ashes.
We shared the goose, and it was very tasty. These particular Aboriginal people are prepared to travel to gather the White Gum firewood they prefer, which burns away to nothing more than a white powder ash, that they then cook in.
The sugar tin is being used as a billy for our cups of tea!
