  Aboriginal lifestyle:- The species available provided a reliable and nutritious food supply for a restricted population throughout Australia. This was sustained with steady modifications over several millennia. Care and forethought was used to assure a regular supply of food and water. When harvesting plants, some plants were left to seed future crops, controlled burning cleared growth and promoted new grass for favoured large mammal populations. The construction of ponds, channels and weirs extended the range of, and time of access to, fish, eels, birds and other aquatic species. Food was rarely stored, but this testifies to the Aborigines' skill and confidence as hunters and gatherers rather than indicating improvidence.

  The Aboriginal lifestyle of hunting and gathering developed in a
  continent which could not offer any plant or animal species on which an
  agricultural economy could be based. The species available provided a
  reliable and nutritious food supply for a restricted population throughout
  Australia. This was sustained with steady modifications over several
  millennia. Care and forethought was used to assure a regular supply of food
  and water. When harvesting plants, some plants were left to seed future
  crops, controlled burning cleared growth and promoted new grass for
  favoured large mammal populations. The construction of ponds, channels and
  weirs extended the range of, and time of access to, fish, eels, birds and
  other aquatic species. Food was rarely stored, but this testifies to the
  Aborigines' skill and confidence as hunters and gatherers rather than
  indicating improvidence. Finally to promote and complete the circuit of
  life religious rituals were carried out and totemic rules limited the
  consumption of certain foods.
