Aboringal Tribe Research Paper
• An aboringal tribe best known in Brisbane is the Turrbal people. The founder of the Turrbal people was Tom petrie. They occupied the land gold coast or moggil and as far north as north pine. Majority of the Turrbal people died from a drink that was introduced during the colonisation, but there were a few survivors. The turrbal people survived on the land and water before the British settlement. The river supplied them with food and was a good place to fish. The turrbal used their own medicines using plants in their environment There were al so many other clans and tribes that tempted to clan Brisbane, after they though all the Turrbal people were dead, but instead they were alive and well. They know what to tell everyone their story. Brisbane
was well inhabited by the Turrbal people because of this they attached more settlement from the aboriginals. There are many tracks we still have today that the aboriginals created. Two of these tracks are waterworks road and old northern road.
