Sydney is a food lover’s city- with cuisine from across the globe! But for a uniquely Australian ‘foodie’ experience during NAIDOC Week, with ingredients from our own backyard, head to the Sydney Aboriginal Cafe.
Housed in an award-winning building, in Sydney’s CBD, the Sydney Aboriginal Cafe is where you can find ‘deadly’ coffee, as well as a range of savoury and sweet treats, made using native and ancient ingredients. In a collaboration with Koori Kulcha, the Sydney Aboriginal Cafe are able to source bush tucker herbs and spices, which are used to make in-house delicacies including emu and wallaby pies and rolls, wattleseed and lemon myrtle muffins, and Davidson’s Plum danishes. For those keen on a bushtucker picnic, you can pre-order an Aboriginal Tasting Plate featuring both sweet and savoury goodies.
Barangaroo precinct may be a recent development, but the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation have lived by its shores for thousands of years. For those keen to learn more about the indigenous history of the Sydney Foreshore, Aboriginal Cultural Tours, of the Barangaroo Reserve, are run regularly, through-out the week. On the tour, you’ll learn about the bush foods, used by the first inhabitants, which grow in abundance through-out the reserve. You’ll also learn about the incredible woman who was Barangaroo, wife of Bennelong, and how she was one of the first resistance warriors in the Sydney region to oppose British occupation.
