Basil?
[edit]Presumably the Australian word for the plant Coriaria myrtifolia, not the culinary herb basil? Martinevans123 (talk) 17:02, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- 'Basil' is a now largely obselete term for tanned sheepskin, or leather derived from sheep hides. See https://books.google.com.au/books?id=AkICAAAAQAAJ or https://books.google.com.au/books?id=Vxez-N1HO5kC. Warrenjs1 (talk) 07:56, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
