Excursion Bush tucker & medicine walk with a ranger tour at Fraser

Since creation, the Butchulla people have lived by three principles: what is good for the land must come first, do not take or touch anything that does not belong to you, and if you have plenty you must share. This walking tour will help you learn more about the history and culture of these indigenous ingredients, reconnect with nature, and discover the food secrets that surround us on Fraser Island.

Bush Tucker Walk with a Ranger

Join an experienced Ranger on a guided walk through the native wallum to see, touch, and taste the ingredients used by the local Butchulla people for the past 5,000 years, growing within the natural environment followed by a presentation by the resort chef.

Food Demonstration by a Local Chef

Explore the tastes of Australia and experience the delights of its native bush tucker ingredients. Nibble on native berries bursting with flavour, and relish in the refreshing citrus of lemon myrtle, and learn how these ingredients can be utilised in cooking. With an endless list of native ingredients on our doorstep, the Chef will present a selection in their natural, and raw state, detailing their origin, and pairing them with freshly cooked kangaroo, crocodile and emu. With many of the ingredients grown on Fraser Island, watch on as Chef demonstrates how to use them, presents the cooked dishes for you to taste, and shares some recipe secrets.
