Australian plants have provided the Aborigines with weapons, tools, shelter, watercraft, ceremonial objects, clothing, ornaments and paint. This book shows how the hunter gatherers lived and similarities and differences of plants uses across Australia. An overview of the changing relationship that Aboriginal People have with the flora is given, along with a description of current trends. The plants were essential for the hunter gatherers and for maintaining the terrestrial fauna essential for their subsistence.
