Surfing the Menu in Kakadu, Northern TerritoryBen and Curtis are standing at the river crossing that divides Arnham Land from World Heritage Listed Kakadu and they are wondering how they're going to get across. Crocs cruise nearby. A Toyota 'troopie' comes splashing through and they have to jump to avoid getting wet. "This is how they meet Traditional Owner Natasha Nadji. Tash introduces them to the poems of her grandfather Bill Naidji, then to her father Jonathon Nadji, the Senior Traditional Owner, who then takes them fishing for Barramundi on the family's Billabong where they not only catch a feed, under the watchful eyes of the resident crocodiles, but Tash also takes the boys on a tour of the river with her boyfriend Derek. Jonathon explains the significance of ancient rock paintings at Ubirr and Trash takes them to her special dreaming place, Mushroom Rock. Then they meet the family and go hunting Magpie Geese for dinner. Ben and Curtis are not very good shots so the locals show them how it's done. By a picturesque yet croc-infested Billabong, Curtis cooks Barramundi Fillet in foil with Asian Herbs while Ben cooked Whole Poached Barramundi plus Vietnamese Crispy Pancakes. Tash and her family show Bender and Curtis how to prepare and cook Magpie Goose on an open fire. This week's recipe:Whole poached Asian barramundi Kakadu GalleryClick on a thumbnail to enlarge |
