You shoulda stayed out there.

G'day maaaaaate. Toss another witchetty grub on the barbie and grab us a coldie wouldja. The cricket'll be on inna bit.

Actually you sent me on a bit of a search. There really don't seem to be any good websites around about bush tucker (there's an opening! ??--> profit!). There was a great series on years ago: The Bush Tucker Man - definitely worth watching/reading the book(s).

So did you eat much indigenous food while away? I've had the grubs (everything does taste like chicken) but I don't know that I could have them every day. And I've probably had a modest selection from the bush tuckerbag. Health food shops usually have a bunch of stuff (not quite the same as stalking picking your own. I would stop short at goanna though, despite harbouring a grudge when one chased me up a tree years ago.

goannas on Fraser Is.

take 2 the sand goanna

Mmm...I'm not sure there are too many spotted creatures that we eat are there? Some chickens I guess. Brightly coloured beasties like that goanna usually mean DON'T EAT ME in nature. (wellll...bright-ISH)

Tim Tams!!!!!

Those goannas are not likley to be eaten by two legged beasts but they might have a go at unsuspecting tourists. Tour guides and bush rangers on Fraser Is. do a good job in warning visitors to not feed the goanna. Lovely creatures I reckon.

Oh dear. Now I have "Goanna" (sung to the tune of "Joanna") running through my head.

Try to the tune Deanna by Nick Cave, it's even better.

"You can live on it..."

"... but it tastes like shit."

Welcome back, dhruva! Thanks for the dilly bag!

bush tucker is nice and all, but i'm vegetarian, so i can onl look and marvel at them all :)
