The whole process is done in the following manner: - they dig a hole in the ground, kindle a fire in it, and then add a sufficient quantity of stones to be heated by the fire. During the time these are heated, they prepare the game or vegetable; when this work is done, they remove the stones and the larger remains of wood, and if they stew a kangaroo, they first fill the inside with part of the hot stones and leaves of the gum tree. The kangaroo is then put into the hole and covered with leaves, the remaining hot stones, bark and earth; it remains there for an hour or more, until steam escapes from different parts; and when this takes place, the meat, or whatever is cooking, is sufficiently done |
