Best Answer

Desert-dwelling Aborigines dig for tubers and yams at the base of the plentiful vegetation that lives in many of Australia's deserts. As Aborigines must live near water, many of them have access to nardoo, a fern that lives along the inland waterways, and which can be ground into a floury substance and cooked. They hunt red kangaroos and wallabies that come to the waterholes to drink, perentie (large goannas) and birds such as budgerigars.

What food is there in the Simpson Desert?

There is no food in the Simpson Desert that Europeans would understand how to find and prepare adequately for consumption. Only the local indigenous people would possess the skills to find and prepare the food. For example, desert nardoo provided a satisfying food for the Aborigines of the desert. After explorers Burke and Wills were offered it by the Aborigines, they started to collect and prepare their own, mimicking how they had seen the Aborigines prepare it - but they forgot one vital step, which rendered the nardoo indigestible and quite useless nutritionally.
