Sultana grapes are white grapes grown and sold in Oz as table grapes and dried. Yes very similar to raisins but lighter coloured and sweeter. Give raisins a go, I'm sure they will work...

Here's a bit more camp tucker (food)...

These are mudcrabs, their claws are serious business and can break bone or worst case take off a finger or a toe. We get at them once a year on a month long camp about 4000kms from our home.
You catch them in traps baited with fish or pork or whatever. The fun starts when you get them in the boat. The proper bush way is to pin them with your bare foot and tie up their claws with a couple of throws of string. Magic when you get the knack but can test your nerves a bit learning how...

That's me bumbling along with a crab we've trapped. I've got him by the back swimmers and his claws our out front. See my mate has no shoes on. You have to do it barefoot...



And this is what they look like after they've been in the crab cooker on the fire. (A crab cooker is a stainless steel stock pot with a liftout basket. Boil them for a little while and crack 'em open. Top tucker.
