ME MANDOOK GALK BUSH TUCKER PLACE

Me-Mandook Galk Bush Tucker Place is a First Nations youth lead enterprise of Nalderun. We sow and grow a variety of bush tucker plants that are suited to grow on Djaara Country.

With the support of many community supporters from near and far, in 2021 Nalderun bought back the land next to Me-Mandook Galk, the site of the incredible Grandmother Ancestor tree in Chewton. The big vision is of this land becoming an indigenous education and Cultural hub for the many amazing programs that Nalderun run.

On the ground there is a deadly team of First Nations youth headed up by Chase Norfolk and with support from Camillo Demarco, Sas Allardice and many crew from the School Based Apprenticeship program and participants from the Bush Tucker program at Middleton Prison. Over the past few years, the team have been busily working together to create the foundations of the Me-Mandook Galk Bush Tucker Place enterprise.

The long term vision of Me-Mandook Galk Bush Tucker Place has many branches and includes production and sale of fresh and dried bush foods, education programs, propagation and sale of bush tucker plants as well as the regeneration of the Me-Mandok Galk land using bush foods.

Our main focus currently is on developing our bush tucker nursery and plant sales.

What we Do:

• Plant Sales (via occasional market stalls or bulk orders)

• Bush Tucker Education

• Community Working Bees

• Land Regeneration and management at Me-Mandook Galk
