With a journalist's sharp eye and a humanist's deep respect, Lockwood documents the traditional customs, spiritual beliefs, and daily survival practices of one of the world's last truly nomadic peoples, including their resourceful diet of bush tucker — lizards among them. The narrative balances vivid, on-the-ground reportage with genuine cultural sensitivity, painting an intimate portrait of a society navigating the collision between ancient tradition and the encroaching modern world. Written in an accessible and compelling style, the work stands as both a historical record and a tribute to the resilience and ingenuity of the Warlpiri people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820247757019,"sku":"2026200006459-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/369edd0f-d449-45b3-a93e-b23558bd8f83.png?v=1780055639","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006459-secondhand-the-lizard-eaters","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
