Yet the extent of their knowledge and expertise has been largely unknown and under-appreciated by non-Aboriginal colonists, especially in the south-east of Australia where Aboriginal culture was severely fractured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAboriginal Biocultural Knowledge in South-eastern Australia \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to examine historical records from early colonists who interacted with south-eastern Australian Aboriginal communities and documented their understanding of the environment, natural resources such as water and plant and animal foods, medicine and other aspects of their material world.
