    C'mon guys, there are no good bush food books out there for areas outside the top end or desert. Most of the bush food stuff you read in books and on the web is almost useless if you live in other areas of Aus.
    I live on the stuff and although I have read all the books most of my knowledge has come from a lifetime of experimenting and testing for myself. Most of the plants I live on are not found in the books, even the Aborigines have lost the lore here.

    Sorry Skully, I can't help with WA native food plants but if you are ever over Vic way, I can help.

    Cheers,
    Rowan

    I must sadly admit I've never tested or experimented with food edibles. The inconvenience of death keeps experimentation at bay for me.

    your missing out rick, its kind of like what the gardener feels (i think) when he grows his own food, doing research on edibles then following the plants life for a while then harvesting and eating gives a great satisfaction
    always be prepared-prepare all ways

    I with you on that. It's the experimenting part...you know...Oooh. I wonder what this unknown plant tastes like....that I shy away from. Once I know what it is then it's no longer experimenting....just sayin'
