Aboriginal conversations usually take place around a fire, so that we can sit and immerse ourselves not only through talk but connect with Country. The act of yarning serves as a medium to establish and build respectful relationships, exchange stories and traditions and to preserve and pass on cultural knowledge. This interview with Ethnobotanist Gerry Turpin (Fig. 1) began like all other initial yarning conversations on who we are and where we belong.
