Wikipedia has more info today than 2 years ago, so some tips I found on Wikipedia:-
The nuts were also stored in the mud of running creeks, and eaten in a fermented state. This was considered a delicacy.
The nut is considered nutritious, with a unique flavour similar to starchy potato and chestnut.
The nutritional content of the bunya nut is: 40% water, 40% complex carbohydrates, 9% protein, 2% fat, 0.2% potassium, 0.06% magnesium.
It is also gluten free, making bunya nut flour a substitute for people with gluten intolerance.
Related to the sacred Monkey Puzzle Tree which can live for 1000 years.Araucaria araucana

I have sprouted many Bunya Bunya in my "secret mix" and they shot their root within 3 days. The secret lies in pulling smoke through water, I also added a touch of fulvic acid and seaweed and then soak seed overnight. Some shot within 1 day but all by day 3. Also works well for other natives that require fire for germination.
Many still growing on strong at Stanmore, QLD, in decomposed granite, but rather stunted when compared to creek flat grown trees.
1 even bonsai' ed.
I think most people get their seeds from Bunya pines growing around local areas that were planted by locals or the ones growing at camping grounds that have no chance of growing, lots of Bunya's fruiting around the Sunshine coast right now. If you do collect some its a good idea to sprout some.
-
In a magazine I once viewed called "People of the World" printed 1918 had on the inside cover a declaration/law by the Govenor of NSW in 1901, Stating that NO Bunya trees were to be cut down because they were an important staple for the Native People and to cut them down would be seen as un neighbourly and warrant arrest.
What happened?
It is like they targeted this species from then on, as the evidence is in the very small number of mature trees still alive today.
What were they trying to destroy, really.
And why can we ignore such important laws without consequence.

Maybe salt burn, as the browning occurs at the tip of the leaf.
When using slow release fertilizers, it is a good idea to over water once a week, as opposed to just topping the moisture up, this allows for excess salts to flush out through the bottom of the pot with the excess water. I have no idea what kanna is, obviously not canna lilly, is it a succulent?

I think I have found the right place to ask my questions about bunya nut trees. araucaria bidwillii aka. Bunya Bunya
Question
1) What is the proper nut collection method?
2) What is the proper preparation for eating the nut?
3) Is the tree sap used for anything like glue, food, poison?
4) What are the spiritual attributes already given unto this tree.
I have found it hard to find information on this common species, as to it's traditional uses.
I have taste tested the sap and found it O.K. Swallowed some and never felt sick!
I found the nuts tasted better cooked than raw.
Any one else!
Please note: I am Aboriginal and vow to hold any traditional secrets, safe.
Private message me if not sure who to trust. Any info welcomed

Cabbage tree palm livistona australia , whilst not really a tree, has an edible heart. Removing the growing tips of palms kills them but may keep you alive.
Edible Raw and cooked best from palms 10-20ft.

I would have said a.melanoxylon too! But unless there is a seed pod I can look at it is very hard, the seed punicle should wrap around the seed twice and be orangish, if melanoxylon. Are the seed pods curly?
Acacia Melanoxylon is an amazing timber and highly sought after for woodturning and instrument making (See pic)
Cheers!

Trees rule because they have mastered both worlds. The world of light and the world of dark.
They are extra dimensional beings, meaning they have access to dimensions higher and lower than our own.

And now I, a hermit of 8 years, have come out of my dance and song ready to sing my truth, uninhibited..
"Fear not what others speak, for your words will always be more powerful. For you and only you are thy creator."
By Me Today!
A little poem for you all from me.
============================
How can I tell you, your life's a lie.
You are a servant, and then you die.
They will only, ever show you, what they want you to see.
They have taken, all your rights away, so you just cannot be.
Always working, always hurti'n, always told your not ok.
We must desert them, stop the jerkin', of these puppet strings today.
All my plant friends, join my man friends, and make the space of love we crave.
Take the earth back, from the fast track, of this bitumen we pave.
We must all be, living freely, like the humans we can be,
Take your song back, let the hurt slack, and let your hearts love, be free.
Grow your own food, make a good mood, plant a loved seed today.
Milk your own cow, chook's all run around, and be proud of what you made.
Plant a garden, put your heart in, mother nature loves this way.
No more seperate, no more desperate, with the earth my mind shall lay.
P.S. Comet ISON is still coming

Are the leaves rough like sandpaper fig? or smooth like brachychiton.
Stem looks like ficus sp. ????
Native Hibiscus has palmate leaves, but I think you are on the money with brachychiton bidwillii
I will keep an eye out for it as I live on the Sunshine Coast too.

Ok, So a bit of an update on Comet ISON - ISON has made perihelion intact,
Most reports are that it was disintergrated, long after perihelion and is nothing more than a pile of dust. Maybe untrue, keep watching!
There is also reports now of another much larger planet orbiting the sun.
So while all eyes were on ISON there was something coming in from the other direction?
Man, I never thought space stuff could be so interesting, but this stuff has me hooked, all the lies and confusion, there's something big here
Check this out !

It may be a non event, but if it wasn't , how many people would be blindsided by it?
Whole civilizations have perished from being complacent, but never from being paranoid.

SO the jury is still out on what comet ISON is made of.
It is in our solar system, going near the sun, NOW, and has caused electrical changes on Mars as it went past.
The American government have prepared for armageddon, the christian's are calling it the end of days,
The alternative thinkers say it is a mothership come to guide us into transendence Or maybe they are aliens coming to feast and f**k.
Any info, chanellings, tips or views will be appreciated.
When I asked god what to do when the electrical currents go haywire he replied, in not so many words, "Keep with the beat of your own heart, sing your own song. It has your individual electrical imprint given to you by me." This is starting to make sense. If everyone is freaking out all at once can you imagine how hard it will be to separate yourself from the mass mind and stay un-attatched from the desperate insanity. In other words, stop being a sheep and start knowing that you are the unstoppable human power, Stand in that power and create responsibly..I believe this to be a world changer and "whatever I believe, is what is".
Cheers!

Hi all Just wanted to let everyone know that comet C/2012 S1 ISON is still on it's way, What's this you say!
This is very quiet for a massive news event!, probably the biggest astrological event we will ever see!.
Will it effect us or our way of living? Possibly.
Get the facts and be prepared.
Expected to be vizable by the naked eye about NOW. It will pass closest the earth end of December.
Check Pics.

MILLAA MILLAA North Queensland, Australia. Translated from WET WET. into Aboriginal language.
I even wrote a song about it when I lived there. Cheers!
"Oh The Rain"
Oh how it rains up here,
just wanna disappear.
It's not what you want to hear
Coz while it rains up here your skies are clear.
Mould grows on everything,
Cupboards creak and barely swing.
You can not do anything,
Except to pray for a fine Spring.
If you do not like the rain,
You would find this place a pain.
Maybe even go insane,
I try so hard not to complain.
You can't have a job outdoors,
or it will saturate your pores.
As it may rain for seven scores,
Which makes it hard to do the chores.
Mud Mouldy town we call it,
It rains here more than just a bit,
The locals will tell you it's shit,
You wouldn't move here in a fit.
If you were born in gum boots,
Mud mouldy town would be a hoot.
You don't have to wear a suit,
I am sure you'd find it really cute.

I have read this also in the Ringing Cedars Series, which is in my mind, one of the best set of books ever for explaining us, children, living, plants, animals, history, extra terrestrials etc. These energy sucking beings, can not live in the light emitted from human beings in love. So love everything in your home as you would like to be loved, try becoming one with your desk.
Read these books and tell everyone about them. http://www.ringingcedars.com/
Good work Scarecrow and high vibrations to ya!

I am not anonymous online and I have become slightly paranoid now! Thanks Rootkitshit!
Go Anonymous http://youtu.be/gHRsFCZtG2Y Illuminati song by Anonymous is my new theme song.
I often wonder if they are watching me but my common sense tells me, I am just not big enough to be watched full time, I am a low to medium risk so far, I reckon, but when I Inherit large sums of money or ruffle too many feathers too often, things might change.
So I only send world-changing emails once every few months and I have begun to build my support base so if I disappear there will be a lot of people to ask questions.
So the more that people take their power back, the more the controllers will have to contend with. I am sure they are already outnumbered and often outsmarted..

Shoot that needle up your arm, it might do your baby harm.
With all that poison in your veins, some must end up in it's brain.
But who cares? No one will know, until they watch the baby grow.
And if it dies, well what then? They'll have another maybe ten.
Sure as shit it's happening, unfortunately to my friend.
I hope she sees herself oneday and gives that filthy shit away.

I have also done ceremony for trees that are to be cut down, I feel like, they like a few days notice and any alternative options presented.
So I say to the trees spirit, for example, as it differs slightly with each one.
Hello, I am here because I need your help, I wish to cut you down for timber so I may create beautiful and functional things and I know this will displace you so I give you the options of
1)Staying with the timber to be adored all around the world,
2)Leaving this tree and entering another.
3)Returning to ether from whence you came.
Please forgive me for asking you to choose, I will return in 3 days, so be it.
This is said with words, emotions and imagination, slowly and considerately.
I find that if trees have had the proper warning and preperations they are happy to be cut down and to stay with the wood.
Hence Photos! And the energy around the tree felling is one of excitement, acceptance, delight, honour.
I found I don't feel so good when watching a tree be cut down that has not been respected as a living entity or given options it feels more like a murder..
When I place my hands on a tree I will feel the energy pulsing, I have found realy old trees have a slower steady pulse and young vibrent trees have a fast, rushing pulse. Interestingly trees with a slow pulse are incredibly figured timbers.
I do not tell many of my wood buddys about my tree spirit principles for fear of ridicule.
However I expressed my ideas to a major logging operation in the Solomon Islands, who also understood these spiritual principles, but again feared ridicule and therefore does not practice what he knows in his heart is the right way. Instead he will remove all trees from the Solomons within a 10 year period and cause the community great problems. This is why we need to talk about it. Let us close the gap between man and plant, for we did not weave the web of life.

I have trouble believing anyone anymore and that is why I can only go on my own experiences. To date, after many interesting experiences, I have concluded 1 thing,
" Whatever you believe, is, what is." this is a quote I made when I was 13 years old. It was the only rational explanation at the time. I have proved it right every day since.
I have glimpsed the Mass mind, Nirvana, Emptyness, Miracle healing, the effects of Thoughts and Words.
Yet recently it was brought to my atention by my ancestors that intention was most important as is displayed in Australian Aboriginal, cultural dances.
"Let Your Intentions be known" just came to mind.
But that's just what I believe.
