A History of Aboriginal Sydney There is good evidence of a high Aboriginal population density at contact. Australia has a naturally occurring diversity of plant resources, rather than a few specific staples as in Papua New Guinea. These are easier to exploit if not planted.

Butlin has calculated that the population certainly did not survive on kangaroos alone as a meat source. Indigenous Weather Knowledge - Indigenous Seasonal Descriptions Australia's climate is diverse. Monsoon tropics, desert, savannah, alpine and temperate regions can all be found in various locations.

The words are provided online with community permission, and with audio provided by a language speaker. The languages and words are displayed on a map of Australia so that users can easily find the information relevant to their local area. We hope that this will be a useful resource for schools and educational organisations to learn 50 words in their local language, and for the general public to discover and appreciate the diversity of First Nations' languages around Australia.
