Best Answer

Aboriginal people inhabited the continent of Australia first. Various tribes lived in different parts of the continent, thriving wherever they lived by adapting their bush skills to the climate and landscape. When European settlers came, they occupied the areas where the land most suited them, usually along the coasts where rainfall was sufficient and soil was fertile. Europeans drove the indigenous people off the fertile coastal areas and deeper into the outback and the desert, until eventually that was the only place where they could continue their own lifestyle.

What foods would the Aborigines find in the desert?

Desert-dwelling Aborigines dig for tubers and yams at the base of the plentiful vegetation that lives in many of Australia's deserts. As Aborigines must live near water, many of them have access to nardoo, a fern that lives along the inland waterways, and which can be ground into a floury substance and cooked. They hunt red kangaroos and wallabies that come to the waterholes to drink, perentie (large goannas) and birds such as budgerigars.
