[878] Howitt, _Nat. Tr._, p. 776. Speaking of the Port Jackson tribes, Tench says that they derive their principal food supply from fishing. Both men and women take part in this; the men spearing the fish and the women catching them from land and sea. Both husband and wife bring their shares to the common household.[879] [879] _Loc. cit._, pp. 193-196. Both men and women take part in procuring the fish supply among the natives of Botany Bay.[880] [880] Phillip, p. 31. According to Henderson, among some of the New South Wales tribes the women have to carry children and all burdens; they procure also roots and shellfish.[881] [881] _Loc. cit._, p. 122. Gribble says: "The women always look after camp arrangements."[882] [882] _Loc. cit._, p. 117. Fishing was the chief support of the aborigines of Port Jackson described by D. Collins. In procuring this food, men, women and children were employed.[883] [883] Collins, i. p. 556. In the compilation of Dr. Fraser, on the New South Wales tribes, we have a detailed account of the sexual division of labour. The woman has to put up the wurley; to light and keep the fire, to carry the fire-stick, to cook the food. On the march she carries the bag containing the whole property of the family, the children and the yam-stick. Her duty is to provide fish and vegetable food.[884] The man has only to hunt.[885] [884] _Loc. cit._, p. 2. [885] _Loc. cit._, p. 60. All the drudgery of the camp and all the hard work was the lot of the women. They made nets and bags and they carried, on the marches, all the domestic implements as well as the children.[886] [886] Port Stephens tribes. R. Dawson, p. 67. In the Arunta tribe the women have "to do a considerable part, but by no means all, of the work of the camp."[887] From a detailed description we see that the women have to procure vegetable food and small animals, marsupials, etc., which they do with their digging-sticks. The man's task is hunting.[888] [887] Spencer and Gillen, _Nat. Tr._, p. 50. [888] _Ibid._, p. 19. In the Port Essington tribes, the digging of roots and collecting of shellfish was the woman's task.[889] [889] Macgillivray, i. p. 148.
