kind of wattle (Acacia difficilis)

The inner bark of Acacia difficilis is used to make string (by rolling the fibres on the thigh into two-ply string). It is also used as a sponge to soak up honey from hives. As a rough kind of rope the bark is quickly stripped and used to tie up the legs of macropods when cooking them in a ground oven.

Sometimes they would see an Oenpelli python in a cave and they would tie Acacia difficilis around their heads, the old people. This is Acacia difficilis here, you look. Yeah. They'd see one and get Acacia difficilis bark. It's the same stuff used as a honey dipping brush and you know the old people used to tie it around their heads and they'd take it and when the snake would be about to bite them, it would bite a bundle of Acacia difficilis bark instead and they would then grab it around the neck behind the head. Then they'd whack its head on a tree.

The freshwater crocodile is a bit later however [than the saltwater crocodile], at the time just before when Acacia difficilis first starts flowering, that's when it buries its eggs.

We used Acacia difficilis to make brushes to soak up honey. We'd make a short [brush] to a point from Acacia difficilis like that... we'd tie it up, soak up the honey and suck on it, that Acacia difficilis is for use with honey.
