Cecile has depicted bush foods that can be gathered and eaten at Binjin (Bucket Springs), her grandmother's country. Bush peanuts are plentiful throughout the year, although you need to know where to find them. If you collect too many, your fingers can hurt from the tiny prickles. The peanuts are roasted on hot coals.
