While Aboriginal life on the coast was determined by the seasonal abundance of protein rich food resources like salmon, mullet and oysters, the coastal forests also provided vital resources. Pigface was especially valued both as a food source and a medicinal plant. Then also there were kurrajongs and paperbarks here in abundance. These provided the natural fibres that could be woven into hunting/fishing nets and baskets. Sheets of paperbark also provided a special resource that could be put to many useful purposes.
