This book is an attempt to preserve bush tucker knowledge for future generations of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to ensure the information is not lost with the passing of Elders. The authors describe over 350 species of the edible plants and fungi that were regularly gathered by the Indigenous peoples of the Kimberley in Western Australia.
