Last night I was reading Snake Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta and Megan Kelleher. It was a chapter about the tri-annual Bunya Nut harvesting and corroboree.

This morning I saw this artwork by Jason Murphy at our local art gallery.
A square sign Danger at the top and a graphics of a Bunya Nut falling on a human head with the words, Bunya Cone Fall Area. May knock some sense into you.
