One of the biggest falls of Bunya nuts seen in many years is proving to be a windfall for the Bunya Mountains Natural History Association.<\/p>\n

The nuts usually fall every three years, but this time they’re extra large, with some cones containing upwards of 100 nuts.<\/p>\n

Bunya nuts are the primary source of income for the group.<\/p>\n

Nut sales, along with donations from visitors, allow them to keep their Cedarvale museum open and pay their public liability insurance.<\/p>\n

So lately it’s been a case of “all hands to the wheel” to shell and store the nuts while they’re available.<\/p>\n

Association members can’t obtain Bunya nuts from the National Park, so they get them from private properties in the Bunya Mountains and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

About 20 members have been involved with collecting and shelling the nuts so far this year, starting in late January.<\/p>\n

The nuts are frozen after shelling, then bagged in 500gm lots to sell to Museum visitors.<\/p>\n

At the moment the Association’s freezers are almost at full capacity.<\/p>\n
