Emu Berry
Native to the the area from the Kimberley across Kakadu, Arnhem Land, the Gulf country, Cape York and down to the Tropic of Capricorn this bush looks like a big weed. From April to September groups of berries grow along its stems. The entire plant is crushed and boiled, the resulting broth used to relieve colds, flu, diarrhoea and to bathe sore eyes.
