Australia's early settlers brought various grains from England to grow in New South Wales, but many of these did not succeed because they were unsuitable for Australia's conditions. Some grains and almost all the livestock had been purchased in South Africa and South America on the way over, so there was some fresh meat. The kangaroo was quickly seen as a source of food, though their erratic hopping motion made them a little difficult to hunt at first, and the flavour was strong and "gamey".

There were wild ducks and pigeons, and the oceans and rivers were full of fish and eels similar to what the settlers were used to in Europe.

Grains were vital in the early colony, and flour was a staple item which was used to make a simple bread known as damper. Until the colony produced its first successful barley crop, the colony was in real danger of starvation.
