Mulga (Acacia aneura) is an indigenous wattle plant. This evergreen shrub is prevalent in Australia’s arid outback regions. It holds great significance for central desert communities, serving as an essential resource. The seeds of the mulga tree are edible, and its roots are home to bush tucker favourites such as witchetty grubs and honey ants. The dense wood of the watiya trees is particularly suited for crafting wooden items, including hand-carved weapons, coolamons, and ceremonial objects.
