This dreaming tells about the bush turkey. It is a big bird that flies around from place to place searching for food. They eat insects. The men hunt for the turkeys with boomerangs. The men hunt together to catch the turkeys. This dreaming tells about the many different trees in the area around Lajamanu. They are used for many things including medicine and a food source. The women gather fruit, nuts, bark and make coolamons from the trunks.
For example the ngarkirdirri tree we make watiya (digging/fighting stick) and we can also find laaju (witchetty grub) here with this tree.
