Black Gidgee
Acacia pruinocarpa
Arne arterreke nhenhe ulkere apmere ahelhe anteke arrpenhe arenye, ahelhe anteke nhenhe-le anyetye akenhe.
The Black Gidgee's sweet sap is eaten, as well as the edible grub that lives inside its roots. The Gidgee's wood produces one of the hottest burning fires. A good wood for keeping warm in winter, but not so much for cooking as it will burn everything.
