Australian Aboriginal people have an intricate understanding of the Australian environment and a rich knowledge of plants developed over 50 000 years.

Plants have been used for food, hunting, medicinal purposes, tools, ceremonies and in most other aspects of traditional life. This inquiry investigates these interrelationships by focusing on plants in the Adelaide Botanic Garden.
