Indigenous groups in Australia have extensive traditional knowledge of using local plant and animal resources as foods and medicines. They developed sophisticated practices for sustainably sourcing seasonal foods while respecting local ecosystems. A diverse array of bush foods were incorporated into diets and cultures, including fruits, nuts, seeds, grasses, leaves, animals, insects, and seafood. These foods were often prepared through methods like grinding, roasting, boiling, and soaking to remove toxins. Traditional food preparation and consumption practices still play an important cultural role for many Indigenous communities today.

BIOLOGY OF DUGONG Dugong dugon, also known as sea cows is a marine mammal.
It is one of four living species of the order Sirenia, which also includes three species of manatees.
It is the only living representative of the once diverse family Dugongidae; its closest modern relative, Steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas), was hunted to extinction in the 18th century.
Breadfruit is an ancient domesticated cultigen & its origin, domestication & distribution must be considered within a geographic & cultural context.
It was first domesticated in the Western Pacific & spread by humans throughout the region beginning 3600 yrs. ago.
The breadfruit is believed to be native to a vast area extending from New Guinea through the Indo-Malayan Archipelago to western Micronesia.
The Bismarck Archipelago being the Centre of diversity for wild seeded forms of Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg.
Few-seeded and seedless forms occur throughout the Pacific Islands, with the greatest diversity found in the eastern Pacific in Polynesia. Seedless breadfruit has been widely distributed throughout the tropical world.
Propagating by seeds is not popular, as seeds lose viability quickly & the germination percentage is low.
The turtle is a shelled reptile with a distinctive, streamlined body and four legs that end in webbed feet. They are known for their slow movement and gentle demeanor, often seen in ponds, lakes, and oceans. Turtles have been around for millions of years, adapting to various environments, and can range in size from a few inches to several feet in length.
