"Banana Cabana Bush Tucker Garden – Buck Buchanan is a typical Tweed bushie who has found a market for his native fingerlimes in some of Australia’s finest restaurants. Native fingerlimes are grown only in this region – their pulp is the consistency of caviar and has a fresh citrus flavour that is extremely popular with Japanese and Asian chefs. Buck also grows the very alien-looking tentacled Buddha’s Hand fruit which originates from the foothills of the Himalayas. His roadside stall at Chillingham is famous for his chocolate-coated frozen bananas and ‘yowie droppings’ (dried bananas!) Buck is another good talent for the TV cameras – don’t expect him to be wearing shoes or a clean shirt and he’s about as dry as his yowie droppings!!"

"Gerard `Buck' Buchanan rarely wears shoes and it is as if his orange-brown feet like the roots of the thousands of exotic fruit trees that thrive on his property are sucking nutrients from the rich, red volcanic soil so his whole complexion seems ochre-coloured. If the genial Tweed Valley farmer shook his head, a cloud of orange dust would probably hang in the air; if you shook his hand, his flesh would feel as tough as a tree trunk; and if you shook his trademark Stubbies and t-shirt, they'd smell of land and lemons, mud and mangoes".
