Nita is telling the story of the Ultukunpa or Honey Grevillea flower which is a favourite bush food of the Anangu (people) Pitjantjatjara. Ultukunpa grows in the sandy soils on the plains. The flowers can be picked and placed in a billycan of water to create 'honeywater' (cordial) or they can be sucked for their sweet honey dew.
