Yes, Aborigines hunted wombats for food.
Having spoken to somebody who ate wombat during the depression years, I am told they are tough and gamey, and near impossible to skin. If you are hungry enough to eat a wombat, try an old boot instead. The boot will be easier to cook, and probably taste much better.
As an Australian native animal, wombats are protected and it is illegal to kill them. Occasionally the government issues permits to kill the common wombat as a pest and a nuisance to farmers.
The Northern (or Queensland) hairy nosed wombat is currently on the endangered species list.
