In the bush

We just got back from a great day organised by Diana, in the nearby Royal National Park. On the way to a picnic by the beach Tom and I surprised a black snake that slid off into the bushes. “If it bit, would we die?” I asked jokingly, Diana nodded grimly.

Then in the afternoon we met David Wright, an aboriginal National Park ranger, who took us on our own private Bush-Tucker and Bush-Medicine tour, giving us sweet Lillypilly berries, bitter bush currents and Sea Spinach to eat, and Sasperilla leaves to suck.
