Spinnifex

Termites make a mound in the middle of a spinnifex bush by using the resin from the spinnifex and building their mound. The Kalkadoon people would then collect the resin and boil it up to make it pliable and would then attach spear heads, axe heads ect to the wooden handles, they would also use it as a handle on a knife and once it set it was rock hard and solid. Spinnifex resin is rare and hard to find, the spinnifex bush can also be used to make paper.
