No love for red center lime? Nom nom nom marmelade

This is awesome, this is exactly what I would love to do. I've never skinned even a rabbit, (bloody city boy, son of a farmers son, old man has just retired to the old family block down Pemby) but I'm keen to have a crack if ever I come across a fresh carcass with nice skin. Could you extrapolate on the tanning process more for me?

G'day all! I'm in the pemberton area of WA, wondering if anyone has any knowledge for uses of local saps etc? I'm keen to try steaming and collecting my own eucalyptus oil, and I've failed to extract pine pitch from some pines we have (I made charcoal instead, whoops!) I've heard that local red gum saps used to be used for tanning animal skins, but I have no idea on the details of use. Edit - I don't mean medicinal or psycoactive properties at all, but practical applications such as sealants or gums, waterproofing or uses in tanning etc. Random things like that!
