Australia Sativa by Original Strains
When you start talking about Australian weed history, you're looking at some wild, feral genetics that survived the harshest conditions down under. Original Strains cataloged this one just right. The Australia Sativa is a nod to those legendary bush weeds like Old Mother Sativa and Mullumbimby Madness that the old counterculture guys used to grow out in the Hunter Valley. These plants came from early colonial hemp mixed with top-tier Asian imports brought back after WWII, left to adapt in the baking sun and red dirt.
Growing this one is not for the faint of heart if you’re limited on space. It grows like a straight-up tree. If you don't top her early and often, she will blow through the roof of your greenhouse. I've seen phenotypes of this strain shrug off heatwaves and drought that would fry a modern poly-hybrid to a crisp. She’s got this incredible resilience baked into her DNA, throwing out massive, sprawling branches that eventually fill out with loose, foxtailing buds coated in surprisingly greasy resin.
The terpene profile is wild, earthy, and distinctly eucalyptus-forward, mixed with some spicy, woody undertones. It smells like the outback after a rainstorm. The high is purely electric. It’s one of those soaring, thought-provoking sativa buzzes that feels like a classic 70s trip. There’s almost no ceiling to it—the more you smoke, the higher you go. For breeders and purists looking to inject some serious vigor and pest resistance into their lines, this is a legendary piece of the puzzle.

Growing Australia Sativa: what to expect
As a sativa-leaning plant, plan for a big stretch after the flip (often 100–200%) — flip earlier than feels natural and keep training options ready. Sativa-leaning plants also generally prefer a lighter feed than heavy indicas. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
