Summary:

Do you know how to survive in the bush? Aboriginal People have lived in the bush for a long, long time. They love and look after Country like it's family, and in return, Country looks after the people. In this book, Aunty Munya explains the three things you need to survive in the bush: water, food and shelter. Learn how to find water from waterholes or native wells, and protect them from contamination. Discover which plants are safe to eat and which are not, and which can be used as medicine or glue! Find out how to build a shelter that protects you from the sun, rain and wind. Aunty Munya also tells you how you can find your way without a map and teaches the many uses of fire. With stunning illustrations by Charmaine Ledden-Lewis, Ask Aunty: Bush Survival Skills encourages all readers to develop a deeper connection with the land, waters and sky.
