Here is what 5/6C took from

the experience!

Bruce Pascoe, author of ‘Dark Emu’

taught us that in the next 2 to 3 years

Australia will be eating the plant

called yam. There are 3 parts to a

yam, the young, the mother and the

Grandmother. The mother and

Grandmother you do not eat. They

are put back into the ground to

enable more to grow. You clean and

eat the young. They will be a healthy

vegetable of our future.

Keana B-W

Bruce told us about Aboriginal

history. He told us that the

Aboriginals were the first to create

bread and society. He also told us

about his book ‘Dark Emu’ which

explains all this.

Rachael C

When we went to the Library, we

learnt about a new plant that needs

nothing to grow and about his new

book ‘Dark Emu’. I also learnt how to

make people feel welcome in

Australia.

Bronte W

We learnt about Australian History

and lots more. A man called Bruce

told us about special rocks with a

special hole around it. We also learnt

about how the Aboriginals made

wheat in the desert and that they are

bringing back special food, which will

be ready for production in a few

years.

Tex F When we went to the Write Around

the Murray Festival, a man named

Bruce Pascoe taught us that

Aboriginal people yielded fields from

Melbourne to Adelaide and they were

the inventors of bread & villages.

Ciara S-W

I learnt that the Aboriginals were the

first to make

bread. Everyone

thought it was

the Egyptians but

it was really the

Aboriginals.

There is also a

grain with lots of

nutrients that

doesn’t need to

be watered much

& doesn’t need

pesticide and

grows perfectly

in our Australian

climate.

Pheobe G

I learnt that vegetables like potatoes

are called yams and the Aboriginals

had to dig 1 and a half metres to get

to them. They are very healthy and

will be sold in stores in a few years

time.

Tahlia L

Aboriginals were the first to make

bread. Also the Aboriginals helped

Charles Sturt and other explorers and

they even helped the horses.

Morgan R

I learnt that the Aboriginal people are

Bruce Pascoe is of Bunrong, Yuin

and Tasmanian heritage. His

recent non-fiction book, Dark

Emu, Black Seeds: agriculture or

accident? Won the 2016 NSW

Premier’s Book of the Year.

Bruce is currently working on a

children’s version of Dark Emu.

It helps tell a different story to

long held beliefs about

Aboriginal hunter-gather

societies. Bruce talked about

Aboriginal agriculture, why we

ignored it & how we can re-

discover it. Bruce presented

important revelations and
