Description

Jindalee's footprint. Yanget grows extensively here. The root is about a finger in diameter and a foot length long and is used to make bread after being peeled, roasted and pounded to make flour. Burning of the leaves prior to the April-May harvest improved the flavour of the bulb. The yanget season was a time for people to gather and celebrate. The rushes were extremely useful as they were made into a string, which had all manner of purposes including the construction of nets. Nets were used for fishing and for catching waterfowl. Strategically hung between trees a Nyoongar would use his boomerang to cause the birds on the water to rise in panic and be caught in the net.
