Indigenous Australian Bushfoods

A rare insight into an amazing community of people. This stretch of coastline dense in rainforest was home to only Gungganyji and Yidinyji people prior to Colonisation. It is now home to so many more. Yarrabah once an aboriginal mission is now home to people whos' ancestors were brought here against their will so many years ago. That dark period still hangs over the community today as it does all communities Iv spent time in but on the surface you would not know it. These amazing people are still doing the best they can to hold onto a traditional way of life and that in part is why I was invited in. For a rare catch and cook and to witness life here.

This week, Gordon ventures deep in the Tasmanian bush with local adventurer, Sarah Glover, foraging for local herbs. Afterwards, he joins Sarah in preparing fresh samphire, native cherries and pepperberry before cooking lean wallaby meat on Tasmania's Forestier Peninsula.
