Strawberry Gum

Strawberry Gum is a medium size tree, which grows in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales.

The indigenous Australians who passed through the Northern Tablelands would often chew on the leaves of the Strawberry Gum for their sweet berry flavour. They would also moisten the leaves and lay them over a fire to release their fragrant oils to calm stomach problems.
