Bush Onion Story:
"Paintings in the Bush Onion style depict the story of Yuelamu and how it’s indigenous inhabitants shared a close connection with the land. Bush Onion embodies the daily life of aboriginal men and women and how they would live off the land and eat bush tucker, and how the Bush Onion plant would provide the aboriginal people with a reliable and sustainable resource to eat. Bush Onion paintings metaphorically depict the seeds, flowers and roots of the bush onion plant. They also depict the salt lake where the bush onion plant grows, located in Kerrinyerra or Mount Wedge which is south of Yuelamu (Mount Allan), Northern Territory".
