Wetlands

Size & Medium

Description

For many thousands of years the rich river floodplain was a source of food for the Aboriginal Peoples of Australia.

For them the saltmarsh and wetland vegetation acted as a cradle for the abundance of seafood in the river and lake.

Plants provided material for food, fishnets, fish traps and baskets. The land not only gave shelter and sustenance to the Aborigines, for them it was a source of great spiritual connection and wealth.
