Bush Tucker is on the menu at Castlemaine Health all this week in celebration of NAIDOC Week (November 8-15).
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. However, this year they were postponed due to Covid.
Castlemaine Health’s Aboriginal Liaison Officer Melinda Harper and Chef at Castlemaine Health’s Quick Fix Café Roland Farve developed the Bush Tucker menu featuring a host of native Australian ingredients.
Ms Harper said Castlemaine Health always acknowledges NAIDOC Week but this year they wanted to try something different.
“Bush tucker ingredients have been used by Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years. We wanted to bring some of those ingredients and flavours here for our staff and visitors to try,” she said. See the Mail for the full story.
