People would settle into a certain area and find/construct temporary shelter. They would hunt for food and find other necessities like medicines and water. After a period of time, the group would continue on to another place where there would be plenty of resources. This way of life meant that the land was never overused and plant and animal stocks were able to regenerate regularly. Another way land was managed was through the use fire. Burning off was carried out in particular places and at certain times in the year to clear land, reduce the risk of bushfire and to hunt for food. ]]> 2017-09-23 22:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/brandon_khuu/y1wba2np40fn/wish/190481762 brandon_khuu https://padlet.com/brandon_khuu/y1wba2np40fn/wish/190482359 Groups of Aboriginal people lived in different parts of the country and spoke different languages.
