"More and more Australians are getting out into the bush and taking a look around. We're starting to realise how unique this country really is. If you look around - and you've got to know what you're looking for - you'll see that there are natural resources. You might be able to see - and even test - some of these bush foods in your travels. Just be very sure that you are able to identify the species. I reckon learning about bush foods is just one way we can discover more about our country. I hope this guide introduces you to some of our Australian bush foods, and makes you want to find out a whole lot more."

This handy all-in-one 'kit' includes a fold out map of northern Australia showing 5 main regions, and a 35 page booklet of information about the regions; within each region a dozen of the most common bush foods are identified - 60 in all. The distribution map for each entry provides an indication of where that bush tucker might be found.
