"A historic riverside estate offering a bush-tucker tasting led by Wardandi Bibbulmun elder Dale Tilbrook that doubles as an education in ethnobotany and colonial history. Tilbrook moved fluidly between describing the six seasons of the Noongar calendar and laying out colonial-era injustices: "They were teaching us a lesson we wouldn't forget," she said, adding dryly, "and we haven't." Pouring lemon-myrtle tea made from wild plants on the property, she mused, "John Septimus Roe must be turning in his grave," as she described the cultural reclamation occurring on land once taken from her people." - Kevin West Kevin West Kevin West is a writer, food consultant, and “canning evangelist” (according to NPR).
