Grass Seed, Size: 650x960

Dreaming:  Barbara depicts grasses that used to cover her land before the introduction of cattle. When she was growing up, the grass which is very herb like, provided small seeds  important for damper (bread) making.  They were dried and ground using rocks, then mixed with animal fat and cooked over bush camp fires.
