I found this book to be the most comprehensive, and detailed book, going into great detail of the uses of the Australian native plants by the aboriginal people of Australia. From herbs and spices, teas and medical treatments and cures. The author has a conection to the land and the people who knew the plants and the benefits of them.The detailed information about each plant is outstanding. Describing where each plant is found, what climate and conditions they live in, a detailed description of all parts of the plant, and what each part is used for.
