Yuendumu Bush Tomato Rust by Aborginial Artist A.M. Napanangka

These fruits are tasty. Bush Tomato is rich in sources of potassium and vitamin C. There are more than 100 varieties of bush tomatoes, but only a handful of numbers are edible. Some may be poisonous or may cause sickness. Harvesters normally collect sundried fruits of the small bushes in the late summer and early winter. Audrey Napanangka’s artwork is vivid and strong. Design shows women are sitting around waterhole with already picked up fruits on the coolaman (Special wooden toy) and digging sticks.
