We have Victoriae, the one you know and love as well as Coriacea and Victoriae Baileyana! Not all acacia are edible but these definitely are!

Native Thyme has a complex flavour based on mint. Try it as a baked potato spice, a red meat rub or BBQ marinade. Perfect with kangaroo and particularly good when mixed with Sea Salt, Minced Garlic, Macadamia Nut Oil and Breadcrumbs as a crusting
