A long time ago Wandjina showed our ancestors, women and men, which tools to use. He told the men that they could make their own tools, for hunting for fish and kangaroos. The women use their digging sticks to dig for goanna and yams. The bush bucket is used to carry water and the bush bowls are for bush honey. The bush cradle are for babies and for carrying wild berries and carrying cooked food for instance kangaroo, goanna, fish, turtle.
