Australian Aboriganals
Tribes
The Eora, Kamilaroi,The Turuwal, Wiradjuri, The Wonnaura are the differenet tribes in australia. Although there were many different tribes they each orijinated from differnt places across astralia and survied and lived differently depebding on the ecosysytem.
They all survived off of the nature very well, they ate what they could find and there ancessters learned the ways of the nature and how to survive ande then had passesd it on.
Tools
Tools were crafted and made to strict specifications that were never written down but nonetheless were blueprinted. Marsupials were commonly hunted with spears, clubs and throwing sticks, nets and pitfalls. Reptiles, rodents and insects were excavated with digging sticks. Fishing tackle consisted of spears, nets and traps.
Food and hunting
Almost everywhere could be found edible tubers and roots, leaves, pods, seeds, nuts, berries and fruit. Eggs were taken from emus, bush turkeys and mallee fowl, geese and mutton-birds, and, in the north, from turtles and crocodiles. Kangaroos, wallabies, possums, small marsupials and rodents were widely available, as were lizard’s snakes and frogs. Birds flew over most of the continent, including the arid interior, and often flying foxed would be plucked, still asleep, from their branches. It is understandable with such a variety that Aboriginals found it unnecessary to form and cultivate their own food. The Aboriginals continued to hunt and gather while tribes in New Guinea and Indonesia were practising farming
