The ancient history of Aboriginal blending

They are indeed the first inhabitants of Australia, living on the continent for nearly 50,000 years. Bushtucker: the hills, sand plains, forests, watercourses, marshes of the Northern Territory, and limestone cliffs contain an extraordinary diversity of animals and wild plants that have sustained the lives of the Aborigines for millennia. The Australian desert is the harshest environment ever inhabited by humans. Water is the element that governs the lives of the hunter-gatherers. Thus, to ask "where are you from?" they say "what is your water?"...
