Mortuary poles and sculptures of ancestral beings and totemic birds and animals are still produced for ceremonial use, and at the same time many beautiful wooden implements were produced for use in everyday life – among them, coolamons, spear towers, boomerangs, shields and clubs. The Aborigines also made objects from animal and vegetable fibers – ritual objects, they made things for the survival – ropes, strings, strings bags, baskets and mats.

Aboriginal ate seasonals fruits, nuts, roots, vegetables, meats and fish, all varieties that were native to Australia and available in the area. The Aboriginals ate in different parts of Australia different foods – kangaroos, wallabies, posums, emus, and variety of birds, snakes, fishs, crabs, turtles, whales.. But the traditional food is insects – monts, worms, grubs,larvae.

Before Europeans came to Australia in 1788, 600-700 distinct ´tribes´had their own territory and their own language. In some parts of Australia the names of tribes were named according to the language they used. The names of a few tribes end in – wurung- - Thagawurung, Wuywurung. The 600-700 tribe nations spoke between 200-250 languages.
Australian languages have rather complex grammars, more similar to Latin and Greek than to English, and large vocabularies of several thousand words. Australian languages have a rich cultur heritage – long narrative and song cycles have been handed down from parent to child for thousand of years. Each tribe had its own song styles, which often had a special metrical pattern, and used special words, which were not used in the everyday language. Many tribes had a special ´avoidance´style of speaking, which had to be used in the presence of a relative with whom one could have only formal contact, according to the laws of kinship systems.
Many Aboriginal people are deeply concerned about the state of their languages, but there are some important means how to preserve them, like for example language centers, Aboriginal media associations, which broadcast radio and television programs in Aboriginal languages.
