On the whole, Aborigines were not believed to engage in cannibalistic behaviour.

However: whilst exploring the Mt Augustus area in June 1858, explorer Francis Gregory found evidence of Aboriginal cannibalism. He noted in his journal that he found near a campfire "bones of a full-grown native that had been cooked". The bones even showed evidence of teeth marks along the edges.
