Sweet delicious nectar that bees and birds drink up with purpose and pleasure.
Callistemon's, most commonly known as bottlebrushes are a beautiful native bush that are a special part of the Australian east and west coast landscapes.
Bottlebrush flowers have a sweet nectar that can either be consumed by sucking on the flowers or soaking them in water to make a sweet drink.
Bush food is often closer to home than we realise. Many plants used in landscaping or found commonly in the natural environment are edible or useful in some way.

It is so wonderful that we have access to Bundjalung language and that we can keep it going by using it in our everyday lives with the names of local animals, plants, places, body parts etc.
