Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens
Throughout summer, the area we now know as the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Domain was a popular hunting ground, rich with kangaroo, possum, emu, bandicoot and brush turkey. The wetlands provided local clans with fish, eels and shellfish as well as snakes, water rats, frogs and platypus. Women hunted small animals and foraged for edible plants and berries such as the murnong (yam daisy) as well as other plants for medicine, weaving and making utensils..
