When the directors say “not everything is a two person job” … and you’re at the office by yourselves 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️
For countless millennia, Aboriginal Australians have relied on bush tucker as a fundamental means of sustenance. Bush tucker encompasses a diverse array of indigenous Australian plants that bear edible fruits, seeds, nuts, and more. These plants, each holding ceremonial or cultural importance, have played a significant role in Aboriginal society. 

Our bush tucker workshops offer a comprehensive understanding of various native plants, including their preparation, consumption, and medicinal applications. Participants will gain valuable insights into bush survival techniques and delve into the ancestral practices and meanings associated with these methods. 

To further explore the captivating world of Bush Tucker/Bush Medicine, please make inquiries through our website at www.gumaraa.com.au or reach out via email at info@gumaraa.com.au.
