The term Salad Bowl, to me, conbjures up fields of spinach, carrots, lettuce, tomatos, and the like. Driving west from Brisbane to Toowoomba, one passes through what is called Australia's salad bowl in the Lockyer Valley.
However, in the case of Cunnamulla, it is a different scenario: this salad bowl is renowned not for food for human consumption, but for its abundance of herbages, native grasses, legumes and salt bush varieties. So who gets this nutritious food source? Prime lambs - they are born and raised in such a super-food environment.
Perhaps during drought times, the pastures may not be so green:
But, pasture it is nevertheless, and such pasture allow for good lamb production. "Salad Bowl Country" Lamb might well be a good description of the produce down Cuttaburra Road.
