Bush Tucker Experience

Bush Tucker Experience - Guided Tour

Discover the flavours, traditions, and stories of Australia’s First Nations culture with the Bush Tucker Experience at Outback at Isa. This immersive experience takes you on a sensory journey through the native foods and culinary heritage of the Australian Outback.

Led by knowledgeable guides, you’ll learn how Indigenous Australians sourced, prepared, and enjoyed bush foods for thousands of years. Taste native ingredients, explore traditional cooking techniques, and discover the deep connection between the land, its plants, and the people who have called it home for millennia.

Whether you’re a food enthusiast, cultural explorer, or looking for a unique Outback experience, the Bush Tucker Experience offers an engaging, hands-on journey into Australia’s rich Indigenous heritage.

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 Waanyi, Gangalida, Yanuwa, and Garrawa whose people lived and thrived in this harsh outback country.
