“You can see that white tree there? You can have a sugar bag from that tree, kuntal (edible botanical gum, otherwise known as sugar bag), minda they call him this side. We go looking for gum from those little trees around that dam. We find sugar bag with mum. We cut that tree and fill a cup right full, we get him big mob. We sit under the gum trees and collect the hard sap. Mum always take us out for sugar bag. Sit under the trees and make damper. 

He make you good in the throat when you get cold, sick. He make you good one. You can’t cough then. We boil him and we put sugar bag now. We never put him with a spoon- we don’t have a spoon. We put him with a hand. We drink, we have him water. Cup of tea we make him. We put sugar bag and make him nice, sweet.”
