Cumbungi’s aim is to provide premium quality garments

Cumbungi is also the name of an intriguing
reed-like, indigenous semi-aquatic plant found in various
parts of Australia where there is water two-three metres
in depth. The plants can provide shelter for water birds
and other aquatic organisms but for decades have been
considered a nuisance by farmers. However in recent
years cumbungi has gained much respect as it has been
discovered they play a vital role in wetlands, assisting
purification of water ways, removing pesticides, bacteria
and other pollutants. Historically too, Australian Aboriginals
used the floury (gluten free bush tucker!) rhizomes
of cumbungi as a staple food. The Cumbungi plant is
prominent in the Riverina district where Beth, the founder/designer
of Cumbungi Clothing grew up.
