Morphology

native + peach

This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'native' modifies 'peach' to mean a peach that is indigenous to a particular region (here Australia). A B1 learner who knows both words can reliably infer this meaning because adjectival modification of a noun is a common, compositional pattern across languages.

Etymology

Native peach may come from early settlers who called a local Australian fruit a peach because its red flesh and sweet taste reminded them of the peaches they knew. So today native peach means a local Australian fruit often used in desserts and jam.
