Smyth, 1994:

"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia continue to be interested in  subsistence hunting, gathering and fishing. This is particularly evident in remote areas where  indigenous peoples obtain a large part of their diet from these activities. As was established  in the Commonwealth Government's recent Coastal Zone Inquiry, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait  Islander peoples in more urban regions also regularly engage in hunting and fishing for traditional foods, which continue to comprise a significant part of their non-cash economy."
