Spinifex or Trioda is a large hummock-forming grass endemic to Australia. It is commonly known as Spinifex. 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. The base of the woomera has a clump of 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. The resin was also used as a binder when making paint with ochre. The gum was traditionally used for mending breaks in stone and wooden implements.
