dang hot weather but can’t say enough about thick long jeans and some good gaiters, really is a snake season this year.
nice score on the chilly plant, guessing bird feasting elsewhere and dropped seeded poo.
same with the passion fruit... bird dropping, check the area for other edibles
I’ve had a good look around and keep discovering more bush foods there .
There is a nice little mango tree growing on the bank of a seasonal creek , sweet little ones .
The mango seeds get dropped all over the place by bats , and when it rains hard for a while I’ve seen them sprout well and growing all over the paddock .
They get washed down creeks which is why we see them when you cross bridges on the road.
There’s also edible figs there ,
-Sandpaper figs.
-cluster figs.
-cockie apples .
-‘native passion fruits’
-spiral pandanus.
-Lilly Pillies.
-edible hibiscus .
Off the top of my head , still slim pickings and you’d want to be a nomad passing through as the aboriginals were at the water hole.
Have seen wild pigs , Goanna , and snakes if you were really keen .
Plus freshwater crabs .
There would be more in the creek although I’m not sure .
That’s what I’m into looking for food so I’m always trying to learn something new , even if it’s to add some flavors.
We have to be careful of some figs up here causing skin conditions ,
There one called septic fig there which is as the name suggests .
Plants can be pretty powerful things , for good health too.
