This walk is suitable for everybody, from the novice to the botanist. Enjoy learning the history and food use of many Australian native plants.

Unfortunately, much of the knowledge was lost, but through detailed investigation we are re-discovering the great value of our native flora.This is a great opportunity to lose yourself in the delights of Australian native plant foods!

This informative walk is packed with tips and tricks to turn the bush into your outdoor pantry.
