I know many cool spots up and down the coast of OZ that have access to freshwater and are not wild forests anymore.
Old farmland, disused sections of highway, council land, edges of mass forestry or agriculture or army land.
In these areas where the main plant type is "noxious weeds and grasses", I often remove large sections of weeds, and plant cool species for my own entertainment, and for later generations to enjoy.
Have done so since my teens, and its super cool going back to a place years later and seeing what survived and the benefits, if any, of all your hard work.
Originally it was stone fruit mostly, but now I generally reintroduce natives from surrounding areas that have been displaced by logging, farming, land clearing and weed competition.
My knowledge of natives has improved over the years and I am personally less reliant on introduced species for a feed.
As a nutty prepper type I also add a mix of useful fruit crops, vines, and fodder trees, as well as medicinals and fish poisons that may be handy if SHTF.
Many of the places I did a heap of work on have been destroyed by road building, or water diversion, McMansions, mass agriculture, but many are still super cool places to go chill out for a while.
Nice to know I can rock up any time and pretty much guarantee some sort of a feed.
Zero expectations of success = zero disappointments.
