Sense of Country

Products

This is a First Nations Youth lead enterprise that has a foundation in connecting with and caring for Country whilst crafting beautiful, healing and nourishing products for Community. All ingredients are sourced ethically and as locally as possible and the bulk of the ingredients are grown and harvested with intention and care by First Nations Youth at Me-Mandook Galk Bush Tucker Place on Djarra Country.

We can be found doing pop up stalls at the Castlemaine Farmers Markets and Wesley Hill Market. To enquire about stocking or purchasing our products, please email bushtucker@nalderun.net.au

Our Products include:

Incense Cones

Bring in the aromas of the bush by burning with intention and respect, cleansing and realigning the energy in your space with the vibration of Country. Ingredients are all native to Australia, many grown and harvested with intention and care on Djaara Country by First Nations Youth at Me-Mandook Galk Bushtucker Place. Carefully light the tip of the incense cone and place on a heat proof dish to smoulder.

Our incense is sold in a set of 5 cones, on a clay dish made from clay foraged from earthworks on the land where we work. The dish is then glazed with hand made ash glaze created from our campfires and finally wrapped in a silk cloth which we’ve dyed naturally with leaves from various species of eucalypt and other local plants.

Native Soaps

Hand made using all natural, locally and ethically sourced ingredients, including native plants grown and harvested with intention and care on Djaara Country by First Nations Youth at Me-Mandook Galk Bushtucker Place. The base of all our soaps is native Macadamia Oil and locally grown olive oil to create a luscious and moisturising soap.
