Summary

The two methods of making fire. In the foreground lies a killed emu, a stone axe, also a spear and throwing sticks. A family of Dacelo giganteus (Kookaburra) sit on an idian rubber tree making their ridiculous, hour long “Ha!He!Hi!Ho!Hu! and help pass the time for the Aborigines during the arduous fire making process.
