Spinifex (Triodia) plant Spinifex resin refers to the gum traditionally made by Australian Aborigines by burning the Spinifex plant and extracting its resin. Making the gum The spinifex is threshed until the resin particles fall free. These particles are heated until they fuse together to form a moldable black tar which is worked while warm. When set, this gum is quite strong. Uses Most hunting and working implements benefited from the use of spinifex gum, or resin. Spinifex resin was a crucial ingredient in spear-making, as the head was often fastened onto the shaft using this resin. The traditional Aboriginal axe also made strong use of spinifex resin. Woomera, at left. Note clump of spinifex resin at base of handle. The base of the woomera has a clump of this resin attached to it. A man would always carry at least one spear, and normally a clump of resin. In the evenings, repairs were carried out on spears and other utensils, and the resin was re-softened using the fire and some moisture. Many species of spinifex are extremely resinous, to the extent that resin may drip down the stems and leaves on hot days, and large residual lumps of resin often may be seen at the bases of hummocks which have burned.[1] The resin was also used as a binder when making paint with ochre.[2] The gum was trationally used for mending breaks in stone and wooden implements. In more modern times, in true Bush Mechanics spirit, spinifex resin can be melted to repair things like jerry cans for carrying water and fuel.[2] References ^ Spinifex ^ a b http://www.global.greens.org.au/spinifex-4.pdf v • d • e Indigenous Australians Peoples Aboriginal Australians · Torres Strait Islanders · Tasmanian Aborigines · Groups · Communities People People from politics and public service · Activists · Sportspeople · Visual artists · Performing artists · Writers · Musicians · West Australians Culture Dreaming · Dreamtime · Mythology · Deities · Kinship · Avoidance · Seasons · Enumeration · Marn grook · Kurdaitcha · Astronomy · Songlines · Message stick · The Deadlys · NAIDOC · Torres Strait Islands · Bora · Outstation movement · Riji · Tjurunga · Smoking ceremony · Woggabaliri Languages Language Groups · Pama-Nyungan languages · Sign languages · Avoidance speech · Placenames · Loanwords into English · Gunwinyguan languages · Australian Aboriginal English · Kriol · Torres Strait Island Organisations Northern Land Council · Central Land Council · Aboriginal Medical Service · Media · National Congress of Australia's First Peoples · Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation · Reconciliation Australia · AIATSIS · National Indigenous Council · Aborigines Advancement League · Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations Bushcraft Bushfood · Bush medicine · Bush bread · Fibrecraft · Soaks · Shelter · Possum-skin cloak · Buka · Food groups · Sweet foods · Fire-stick farming · Woomera · Boomerang · Coolamon · Waddy · Spinifex resin Arts Visual art · Contemporary visual art · Artifacts · Bark painting · Sandpainting · Papunya Tula · Music · Dance · Rock · Music groups · Didgeridoo · Vibe · NATSIA Award History Prehistory · History · Historical figures · Missions · Western Australia · 1946 Pilbara strike · Gurindji strike · Massacres · King plates · Day of Mourning · Tent Embassy · Caledon Bay Crisis · Cummeragunja walk-off · Native Police · Aborigines Progressive Association · ATSIC · Pintupi Nine · Tasmania Issues Stolen Generations · Land rights · Petrol sniffing · Aboriginal deaths in custody · Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody · Media portrayal · Northern Territory National Emergency Response · Crime This Indigenous Australians-related article is a stub.
