Spoiler alert: Three hours spent with Tremane “Buster” Baxter-Edwards and Vincent “Vinnie” Antony on El Questro in the East Kimberley is not your run-of-the-mill, skim-the-surface “welcome to Country” type tour. Surrounded by boab trees believed to be up to 5000 years old (they’re notoriously hard to date), standing on a rocky plateau that’s roughly 1.8 billion years old, Baxter-Edwards is explaining the versatility of bush produce over the centuries.

Take the poisonous but decorative hard red gidgee-gidgee seeds, which nuns stationed on remote missions once used as make-do rosary beads when supplies of the real thing were low. Another handy tip (for those looking to shift a few kilos) is to forget Ozempic: try living off bright yellow kapok petals and fibrous boab roots for a few days instead.
