Bush Tucker

Ficus platypoda, commonly known as the desert fig or rock fig, is a fig that is endemic to central and northern Australia. The fruit can be eaten when soft and ripe.

 

Bush Tucker was the way the woman fed their families in times past and still today in this area of Uluru.  Aunty Alison Hunt runs the bush Tucker exhibitions at Yulara at the resort.  We collected these from the rock for Aunty and I was photographed by the Japanese while I was doing this.  I could not help but smile.
