Walk alongside an Indigenous heritage bush guide as you explore the beautiful Outback at Isa Native botanical garden right here in the heart of Mount Isa. Learn about traditional bush methods used to make tools, medicine, and food firsthand.

Plants were utilised in many ways such as food, seasoning, herbal drinks and medicines used to treat common ailments. They were also used for dyes, cleaning, clothing, crafting, building shelters, weapons and much more. These techniques and knowledge about our native flora and fauna have been passed down for generations by the legal custodians of this land, the Kalkatungu (Kalkadoon) people, as well as other indigenous tribes such as the Gangalida, Yanuwa, and Garrawa who’s people have lived and thrived in this harsh outback country for over 65, 000 years.
