Best Answer

The aboriginal people hunted native animals such as kangaroos and wallabies, wombats, koalas and possums. They often feasted on fruit bats. Goannas, other large lizards, and snakes were also hunted.

They hunted emus, and caught birds such as budgerigars and other parrots when they came to drink at waterholes in the evening. They also devised elaborate means of hunting and capturing hawks and other large birds, using primitive but effective bird hides.

Coastal Aborigines hunted turtles and dugong, and were efficient fishermen.

After European settlement, and the introduction of rabbits in the mid 1800s, rabbits also provided easy prey, but these were not native animals. The aborigines also helped themselves to livestock, as the concept of ownership was not in their culture, and they believed all amals were there to share.
