t Mt Barney Lodge, bushtucker foods are in abundance. From sandpaper figs to warrigal greens, our gardens are full to the brim with native foods, bursting in flavour and texture.

Bushfoods make up 20 per cent of Australia’s native flora and fauna and the delicacies are in hot demand from many restaurants and cafes around the country.

Of all the delicious bushtucker foods, one of our favourites is the Carpobrotus glaucescens, otherwise known as pigface. Despite its name, the pigface plant produces a beautiful, succulent fruit, and tastes similar to kiwi-fruit.

The Greek origins of the work Carpobrotus translates to ‘edible fruit’ and the plant grows in abundance on the coastal sand dunes on Eastern Australia.
