Native flavours of the Northwest Cape

Exmouth’s Northwest Cape sits at a fascinating ecological crossroads, where arid, temperate, and subtropical climates meet to support an incredible variety of wildflowers and native plants. This unique climate gives rise to an array of flora found nowhere else.

While not always offered on the menu, these native ingredients offer a glimpse into the rich, resilient flavours of the Australian outback, each with its own story and history tied to the land.

Lemon-scented myrtle (Backhousia citriodora)

Known for its vibrant citrus aroma, it brightens flavours in seafood or poultry and brings a fresh zest to any dish.

Wattleseed (Acacia species)

With a nutty, coffee-like flavour, wattleseed adds earthy richness to breads and desserts, blending chocolatey undertones with native depth.

Bush tomato (Solanum centrale)

Slightly tangy and caramelised when cooked, bush tomato is traditionally used in hearty sauces, capturing the spirit of the outback.

Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia)

This hardy plant’s herbaceous, salty flavour makes it a unique seasoning that’s great for adding depth to savoury dishes.
