Wathaurong fishing and hunting area, winter Swamp, Ballarat
1-2-3 are major camping site near water holes. Emu track There was plenty to do in a camp. The children played at hunting and fishing with small models of the adults' tools. The men made all their tools and weapons, large nets, cloaks, bags and canoes. Women made the smaller nets and bags, baskets and mats. They also built the family hut. Men skinned and cut up the animals while women prepared the vegetables and meat and did the cooking.
Some oven mounds are 20 metres across and 2 metres high. They grew as we cooked one food here for thousands of years

Wadawurrung people would cook most of heir seafood, with the exception of shellfish such as marine snails, which would mostly be eaten raw. Even in their canoes they would often have a small clay fire pit to cook the animals they caught and to provide fish-attracting light at night. The canoes were fabricated from a single piece of bark shaped over fire.
