The Kakadu Plum has been known for centuries as a source of the vitamin which protects against colds and other infections. The local indigenous people who use it according to its season have never judged the fruit by its scientific category, Vitamin C. They’ve simply known by instinct and trial and error that it keeps them healthy in their bush ways of life. In truth, biochemists have identified the Kakadu Plum as having the highest Vitamin C content of any fruit in the world, a concentration that is fifty times higher than is found in oranges.
I was eager to know more about the fabled Kakadu Plum, the reason I had travelled to this remote outback station by rail, road, and on foot. I had heard of the great sages of India who were in such deep harmony with nature and all its elements that they knew the past, present and future. I suppose the wise men of every village community around the world hold the secrets to such knowledge.
‘The bush might seem hard, but it is fair,’ said the old man. ‘It does not lie.’
