For thousands of years Brisbane Water was the home of the coastal Guringai (Ku-ring-gai) people. Their country extended from the northern side of Sydney Harbour, along the coast, to the lower reaches of Lake Macquarie.
The Guringai lived upon the natural resources of the area, collecting shellfish and fish, and occasionally catching possums, birds, reptiles and other small animals. Vegetable foods from fern roots and wild figs were used. Hunting implements included single-tipped spears, and multi-pronged fish spears tipped with fish teeth or fish bones.
Spear throwers, boomerang, club, stone hatchets and net bags were found in Guringai tool kits.
