Bush tucker project uniting refugees and Indigenous Australians
Published
Bush foods — such as saltbush, pepperberry and lemon myrtle — have sustained Indigenous people for thousands of years. Now an Aboriginal nursery is growing and supplying the native foods to a Sydney bakery, to produce artisan products with a unique flavour. The collaboration is about more than just delicious food — it provides employment and training to both First Nations and newly arrived Australians.
