Well ya see John25, by stereotyping a whole race based on incomplete information or misinformation, you could end up saying some silly things.
So here ya go:
Quote "...Aboriginal people grew crops of tubers such as yams, grain such as native millet, macadamia nuts, fruits and berries. People reared dingoes, possums, emus and cassowaries, moved caterpillars to new breeding areas and carried fish stock across country.
"There is 'strong evidence' of 'sophisticated farming and agriculture practices'. Early explorers watched women harvesting yams, onions, and cultivating the land, creating reserves of flour and grain."

Quote " In recent years archaeologists have uncovered just how sophisticated the farming practices employed by some Indigenous groups in Victoria were. The Gunditjmara people, in particular, engineered and constructed a sophisticated system in the Lake Condah region. This system was used to farm huge quantities of eel, enough to feed up to 10,000 people."
