What relationship did Burke and wills have with the aboriginals?
The Aborigines initiated friendly relations with explorers Burke and Wills, but Burke was suspicious of them, and this caused problems. Although there was no show of hostikity from the Aborigines, Burke reacted by scaring off the Aborigines with gunfire, and this proved to be a fatal mistake, especially when the men ran out of rations. Originally, the Aborigines gathered nardoo which they used to sustain Burke and Wills. When they were frightened off by Burke's defensiveness against the Aborigines, the help stopped. So, whilst awaiting the rescue that never came, Burke and Wills made their way to where they knew Aborigines collected Nardoo. Nardoo was an important bush food for Aborigines, who knew how to prepare its seedpods (or, strictly speaking, sporocaps) to make flour. The sporocarps contain poisons that must first be removed for them to be eaten safely. Studies of the explorers' journals indicate that they probably died of nardoo poisoning, after failing to follow precautions from the Aborigines of how to prepare it safely.
