The Mulga is a native wattle plant. It is an evergreen shrub that dominates arid outback areas of Australia. This tree is deeply important to Indigenous people of the desert regions as a significant provider; the seeds of the mulga tree are edible, and beloved bush tuckers of witchetty grubs and honey ants can be found underground within their root systems. The hard wood of the watiya trees are ideal for making wooden objects, and is used to hand-carve weapons, coolamons, and ceremonial objects.
