What did aboriginal hunters eat?

Answer 1

Aboriginals gathered their food by tracking the animals. Men and women both gathered different sorts of food. Women gathered smaller animals and fruits and berries, they knew what plants were poison and what ones weren't, they were taught by their Elders. They would gather the smaller animals by tracking them and digging them out of their burrow etc. Men tracked larger animals like kangaroos and emus. They would stalk their prey and sneak up in striking distance (which was done numerous ways depending on the circumstances) and strike the animal down. They would get within striking distance by, if they are on open land, they would crawl slowly across the ground being sure to stay downwind or slowly creep across the open ground behind a thick shrub, sometimes they also covered themselves with mud to cover their scent, and then strike or , if there was cover, they would quietly run behind the cover and dart from cover to cover.

Answer 2

They used spears and woomeras. Woomeras are like boomerangs only they do not return to you as they have one side shorter than the other. When digging for grubs however they use wooden digging sticks with are like a scoop. boomerangs are also used to hit birds in the air as it can be more accurate than the woomera because it would follow the bird if thrown properly.
They used spears and hand made weapons to hunt their food to kill and prepare to eat.

Aboriginal people caught fish with spears. They stood in the water and speared them as they swam past.

Australian Aborigines created complex and ingenious fish traps. They placed stones and rocks in such a way as to herd the fish into shallower waters where the fish could be easily caught. They often caught the fish by spearing. The indigenous Australians also made fish traps and nets woven out of plant fibres.

Aboriginals used, what you'd call, a 'Nulla Nulla' to hunt for their food and also for fighting. They would then cook their food over an open fire, perhaps on a stick. There are different shaped Nulla Nulla's, the knob headed, beak headed, round headed and flat headed Nulla Nulla.
