- Abstract
- Unquestionably, the most impressive historical evidence for Indigenous plant management in south-eastern Australia has been brought to our attention through the work of Dr Beth Gott. Gott's (1983) paper 'Murnong - Microseris scapigiera: a study of a staple food of Victorian Aborigines' stands as an epoch in Australian ethnobotany as it clearly defined the importance of murnong as a staple food for Victorian Aboriginal people. This chapter seeks to further examine the importance of Aboriginal vegetable foods in south-eastern Australia such as murnong, from a cultural, political and economic perspective in the midst of frontier rupture during the 19th century.
