Learn how First Nations people utilised local plants for food, shelter, health, weapons and general living.

This NAIDOC Week guided walk will depart from outside the Friends Centre and head down past the Butterfly and Story of our Country gardens to the Fruits of the Forest.

On the way you will discover plants that have contributed to the survival of indigenous Australians for thousands of years providing food, shelter, tools and medicine.

Join your guide at the Meeting Post on the path to the Friends Centre.
