This book is about the names and uses that the Ngan'gikurunggurr and Ngan'giwumirri people have for the plants. It is also about the respect for plants and the knowledge that the elders have about these plants, in hope that the younger generations will use this book as they grow up to help them understand about the knowledge and uses of plants. The information about the plants in the Daly River are provided in both english and the local language.
