Fruit, Seeds and Roots Specials --Tasha Roe – Education OfficerThis is an introduction to the great range of Australia's native food plants. Australia's isolation led to a special range of plants. These plants had fruits and seeds but these were different to elsewhere. The First People used these foods very skilfully. The foods provided a good diet to be strong and healthy. This book looks at some examples of the many fruits, seeds and other plant foods which were available to the First People.
