Sugar and Rum I - Reverse Side
The drum, forbidden to slaves in Jamaica is made from a British golden syrup can, covered with the skin of a cane toad. Cane toads were originally brought to Australia to kill the cane beetle. now they are working across the country wreaking havoc on our unique wildlife. Eat a cane toad - you die. A cane toad eats you - you die. Ironically these creatures originate from the Caribbean. In Jamaica the mongoose has performed an identical function.
