Kakadu Culture Camp

We were the guests of Andy Ralph and the Hunter family a week or so ago. We had a bush tucker tour and dinner and a cruise through Muirella Billabong in the pitch black night. It was so spooky! Doug drove the boat and Freddy was up on front with the spotlight. Croc's eyes show up like huge orange headlights in the dark. It was great!


This is the traditional Aboriginal method of cooking the barra, leave the scales on to keep the ash out and just toss them on the fire, they taste delicious! Freddy keeps a close eye on them.





Here Jenny shows us how bush tucker is all around, you just have to know where to look. She is holding a pandanus nut while Katherine hunts for green ants. They can bite pretty good but are an excellent source of vitamin C and Ian eats them when he has a cold. I am too chicken!



This handsome bloke is Jesse Hunter up close and personal.



Some snake left his skin hanging in the tree.



I didn't get any photos on the boat ride but here is one I pinched from the Kakadu Culture Camp for you to see.



Have a look at their website and see all the pictures and thanks again to all the Hunters and Andy too for the wonderful evening.
