I worked with aboriginal people on communities in the Kimberely. They do have access rights and can hunt protected species, but only with traditional hunting weapons, certainly not rifles.

A previous girlfriend was aboriginal from Kalumburu, I met her while I was working up North (she was working at Turkey Creek at the time). At the community they lived on sea turtle and dugong (they take them the traditional way). When I brought her back to Perth with me her family used to send down huge lumps of disgusting meat that she used to boil up - I never joined her in those. I have eaten a lot of their bush tucker when I was up there, but only to taste, none of it enthralled me. We would catch huge catfish in the Ord River Basin to treat the elders in the Old People's Home at Turkey Creek. Once it was barely cooked she'd smack it on the head and suck the brain out, then pop out the eyeballs and cheeks - disgusting to watch
I absolutely loved the couple years I spent living on those communities, the people are amazing.
