Mutton Fish: The Surviving Culture Of Aboriginal People And Abalone On The South Coast Of New South Wales

Description

Mutton Fish, or abalone, is a subsistence food - easy to find and harvest, extremely rich in energyand accessible, for as long as the beaches are free and open to all. The coastal environment of the NSW south coast has nurtured its people for thousands of years. Mutton Fish explores this relationship and the effects of the coastal resources being progressively restricted by European competition.
