Bush Plum which is both a major food source for people of the region and an important creation story. Bush Plums are harvested over a short time each year and dried for use at other times of the year. The Dreaming story includes that of Atnwelarr which is the plant itself and Kame - its seed. The creation story is based on that of two seeds - one belonging to Alhalkere and Atnangkere country and the other belonging to Arnumarra country. The seeds created two different species of the pencil yam.
