Bush Tukka Guide For Kids

Bush Tukka Guide for Kids by Samantha Martin is a kid-friendly Australian nature book that opens young readers’ eyes to the flavours, plants and practical know-how of bush foods. Adapted from Martin’s bestselling Bush Tukka Guide, it shares what she learned from her mother and Aboriginal Elders, with a respectful focus on caring for Country and learning from First Nations knowledge.

Inside, kids discover how to hunt, gather and forage safely, how to identify edible native plants, and how bush resources can be used as food, tools and medicine. Along the way you’ll meet favourites like Davidson’s plum, mountain bush pepper and sandpaper fig, plus get ideas for starting a bush tukka garden at home or school. There are also genuinely doable recipes, from lemon myrtle damper to kangaroo burgers and caramelised cluster figs with ice-cream.

Perfect for curious kids, families who love cooking together, and classrooms exploring Australian bushcraft and native foods. Add it to your shelves and start tasting Country.
