This strongly aromatic bush is a native to south east New South Wales, eastern Victoria and Tasmania.

Native Thyme was used by indigenous Australians for its medicinal properties.

Use as you would Mediterranean Thyme.  It is particularly good when mixed with Artesian Salt, Minced Garlic, Macadamia Nut Oil and Breadcrumbs as a crusting.  Not like traditional thyme, this has a complex flavour based on mint. Try it as a baked potato spice, a red meat rub or BBQ marinade.
