Wild Food in Australia by A.B. and J.W. Cribb is a landmark guide to the edible plants, fungi, and animals found across the Australian continent. Drawing on extensive botanical and ecological knowledge, the authors catalogue hundreds of native food sources, detailing their identification, preparation, and nutritional value. Written with both the curious naturalist and the practical outdoorsperson in mind, the book presents a compelling case for the richness of Australia's wild larder, long understood by Indigenous Australians and largely overlooked by European settlers. The tone is authoritative yet accessible, making it an indispensable reference for bushwalkers, foragers, and anyone with a passion for the natural world. First published in 1974, it remains one of the most respected and enduring works on Australian bush tucker and ethnobotany.
