This one we call burdbarrk (water lily). That one is good food, that one. She gives us food inside. In any billabong or creek we’ll get that burdbarrk in the water. Not in dry areas, in the water. We’ll collect and take it and cook in the bush oven. To make that
bush oven, we make a hole and make a fire. We get firewood, make the fire, then we wait, yalmo yalmo, let it burn down slowly, then we’ll put all the yams in the fire. Slowly, we let them cook, then just eat it like that.
