You may be hard pressed. The best is if you are in Queensland or in the outback (desert) to ask somebody. Indigenous Australians are the only ones who have eaten these in the past (and probably some now as well) and you may only be able to find out through word of mouth. The term for this kind of food is Bush Tucker or Native Australian food. Here is a list of Bush Tucker restaurants that you may want to try Kangaroo, Emu and bush herbs:
