Hello,
A bushie was telling me today that Aborigines used to put nectar producing flowers, like gums and melaleucas, in water for a healthy drink. The pollen would be a protein source too.
Does anyone here do this?

Funny you should mention that, I was watching the box this afternoon and watched someone demonstrate just that. It certainly wasn't a class show, but it didn't look unreasonable.
