farming methods

aboriginals farmed ther crops by controlled burning, they kept the bush open and allowed the growth of new seedlings in the ash-bed.
aboriginals also had ways of manipulating the land to ensure we could get what was needed. We would build dams and wells, we planted and harvested seeds and to preserve the surplus aboriginals would store it in houses or sheds

Mobs who lived along the coast or along rivers and streams would spear fish and rays in the shallow water or trap them in fishing nets that were woven with reeds or cane. Some of these traps would have a larger opening on one side to allow fish and other marine animals to swim in and a smaller opening on the opposite side so that babies could swim out and reach their full size.

It is often said that before colonisation Aboriginal people only ‘hunted and gathered’ our food. However, this is not the case as our ancestors had sophisticated farming and agricultural techniques as well. This included planting seeds to create vast farms filled with crops, caring for the soil, harvesting the crops and storing the produce.
