Vivienne Hansen and John Horsfall - Noongar Bush Tucker Softcover Book (m/uni012)

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 260 species of the edible plants and fungi that were regularly gathered by the Noongars of the Bibbulman Nation of the south-west of Western Australia before and after colonisation.

Written by Noongar elder Vivienne Hansen and retired nurse educator John Horsfell, Noongar Bush Tucker has been compiled from knowledge passed on by Noongar Elders. It features images of many of the species described to help the reader recognise the plants and fungi.
