Redgum (Marri) Honey

Redgum honey is marri honey, from Corymbia calophylla, which the maker calls one of the most prolific flowering trees in the south-west forest. It is lighter in colour than the maker's jarrah and blackbutt and more floral, with what the maker calls a gentler complexity. Its hives sit in marri forest in the Pemberton region.

Marri blooms abundantly when conditions suit it. The maker says the honey is extracted cold, below 40°C, minimally filtered and not blended. The maker positions it as the versatile one: drizzled over yoghurt, porridge or ricotta, and as a sweetener in salad dressings and marinades where jarrah would be too strong.

The maker's other forest honeys are Jarrah, with a tannic edge, and Blackbutt, with a dry finish. For another maker's marri, see Foragers Honey.

Made by South West Honey, run by brothers Ryan and Steve, who say they started in 2017 after a weekend beekeeping hobby. Their hives are in native forest around Pemberton.

Delivery and flying home

South West Honey ships within Australia and to selected countries. Standard post takes 3 to 10 business days, and orders usually leave 2 to 4 business days after payment (shipping page, checked 13 October 2026).

Honey counts as a gel. On most domestic flights it can go in your cabin bag. On international flights only containers of 100 mL or 100 g or less can, so a 260 g jar goes in checked baggage. Tasmania has its own honey rules. Rules change, so check Home Affairs and your airline, and see our flying-home guide.
