About | Outback Pride. The Outback Pride Project is promoting the Australian native food industry by developing a network of production sites within traditional Aboriginal communities. The cultivation of Australian native food provides indigenous Australians with jobs and training in horticulture and the food industry. In this way, the project also acknowledges the intellectual property of the traditional uses of bush foods. History The Outback Pride Project was created by Mike and Gayle Quarmby of Reedy Creek, South Australia.

It was born from a need to take a positive journey following the tragic loss of a 20 year old son. Gayle's family involvement with traditional communities goes back to 1932, when her father Rex Battarbee travelled in a model T Ford to the central Australian outback settlement of Hermannsburg, south west of Alice Springs. While at Hermannsburg Rex met a young camel team worker called Albert. Mike Quarmby has had a lifetime of experience in the commercial horticultural industry. Outcomes.
