I’m seeking information on cacti and succulents that are edible and that are available in Australia?

My preference is, Prickly Pear as it is common where I live. Although I’m not sure if the ones growing near me are edible?

Does anyone know which species are edible and how I can identify the edible ones? Or is there a detailed book available?

I’m also looking for information on cacti cooking/jams/medicinal purposes or alternative uses. Names of books will be helpful.

Thanking you in advance.
