Bush tucker

The Advertiser: Bush tucker – with a catch :

"FISH products using South Australian species and garnished with native produce will be used by a new fishermen's co-operative to tempt overseas markets."

Yes, bush tucker is very unique. I was listening to an aboriginal man on the radio this morning. He ran a tourist operation outside of Catherine and he , too, was talking about how he introduced the tourists from all over the world to bush tucker. He was talking in his own language and English and the more he spoke , the more you came under his spell listening. He has been trying to get a bush tucker store going as much for the aboriginal folk out his way as for the tourists. A great idea because it's the sharing of culture and breaking of bread which is so vital to human understanding. Clearly, other people were keen to learn his ways and he, in turn, had learn much from the. Maybe out aboriginal elders, the American chieftains and the Scottish clan leaders need to go and sort out Irq . Maybe the Iraqis would be able to talk to elders. Maybe elders would know how to negotiate this mess in Iraq. It's not about right and wrong any more. It's about stopping the bloodshed so people can live. All people. Everyone. The us them situation achieves nothing. This is why the aboriginal man was so interesting to listen to. He acknowledged everyone and everything as important and difference did not exist. It was something to draw upon in terms of experience and talk about again if you didn't get it right the first time. He was amazing.
